How to download Adobe After Effects for free


To get to the point: you can have the program for free for only seven days. This means that if the project you are working on will last more than seven days, or that if you are going to want to use the program more than once (surely yes), then you will have to end up paying.
But if, as we said, you only need the software for a specific moment or for a short project, you can still benefit from the free trial period. This can also be very useful in case you are not sure how the program will be or if it will end up being useful or not.
