Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Inc.; it is used for animation and in the post-production process of film making, video games and television production.

In 2019, the program won an Academy Award for scientific and technical achievement.

After Effects Scripts are a series of commands written in both JavaScript and the ExtendScript language.
