# Adobe After Effects courses

> Adobe After Effects is a motion graphics and compositing application used by architects for animated architectural presentations, diagram animation, render compositing and video-based project communication. Its integration with Photoshop and the broader Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem makes it a natural extension of the Photoshop-based architectural visualization workflow into the motion and animation layer.
