Adobe After Effects is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary, so we figured it was time to round up some of our favorite free templates, presets, and assets. It still feels like we just celebrated Premiere Pro’s 25th birthday, but now it’s time to shift the celebration over to After Effects.
One of the best ways to learn After Effects is by taking apart templates and seeing how other people are creating projects. That’s one of the reasons we continue to find and create free After Effects templates for you to use in your own projects.
