What is Adobe After Effects?

I have question, about Adobe Effects. What is Adobe Effects used for, per say in a vid? I know some vidders use it, I know in part it's to create motion graphics(am I wrong)? Apologies if this has been asked before.

Ah. Thank you for that bit of info.

So do you import the project in there? Or does the video have to be rendered first? Sorry for more clueless questions. :sheepish:

With the version I now have of AE, yes, I can import the whole Premiere project. But before I upgraded, I couldn't. I had to do rough cuts in Premiere, and then I would render out small sections (uncompressed or with Huffyuv, so that all the swapping around wouldn't eff up the quality) that I wanted to work with in AE...render back out afterwards and then back into Premiere. Kinda tedious, but I'm good at making things tedious ;) Really, since I was only using AE in spots, it wasn't all that awful.

Your questions aren't clueless! I wondered the same things. AE's learning curve is a lot steeper for me that Premiere's was, but I have to learn new stuff or die of boredom...I think I'll be working through AE tutorial books for quite a while :)
