Achieve amazing results more efficiently than ever before with unparalleled creative control, new 3D workflows and enhanced editing and design features, and tighter than ever integration between Adobe applications.

He'll demonstrate some similarities and differences between compositing in After Effects and Final Cut, and show why and when you should use one over the other.
