VIDMO VS AFTER EFFECTS
After Effects is the desktop standard for motion graphics — and it's heavy, expensive, and slow to start. Vidmo keeps the parts most SaaS teams actually use — keyframes, easing, effects, 3D, export — in a browser tab, and adds AI that drafts the first cut. Here's how they stack up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Is Vidmo a full After Effects replacement?
For most SaaS/marketing motion work — keyframes, effects, 3D, export — yes. For broadcast VFX with deep plugin pipelines, AE still goes further.
Will After Effects users feel at home?
Yes. Keyframes, bezier easing, parenting, nulls, adjustment layers, and track mattes all map to AE concepts.
Can I open my .aep files?
Not directly — Vidmo is its own format. But the workflow is familiar enough to rebuild scenes quickly, and AI can draft the starting point.
Why pick Vidmo over After Effects?
No install, runs on any machine, costs less for teams, and AI drafts the first cut so you finish faster.
TRY THE LIGHTER WAY
Keep the After Effects muscle memory, lose the install and the wait. Open Vidmo and animate in your browser.
