WEB After Effects Can Now Import Animated GIFs
What This Means for You
After Effects, a popular video editing and compositing software, can now import animated GIFs. This is a significant development, as it allows After Effects users to work with GIFs more easily and efficiently. Previously, users had to convert GIFs to video files before they could import them into After Effects. This process was time-consuming and could result in loss of quality. With the new import feature, users can simply drag and drop GIFs into After Effects and start working with them immediately.
