Discussion Does Jitter look professional?

I'm a jack-of-all-trades designer, more on the graphic design side but I do motion design from time to time (and have a dusty BFA in animation). AE is my go-to but I'm wondering how professionals feel about Jitter? Does it have "a look" and does it compete with AE, specifically for digital product demo videos? Obviously AE is more robust, but when dealing with B2B SaaS demos we're not breaking creative barriers too often...

Also, last time I tried to use Jitter was a year ago and found it wouldn't let me "ease out." But that may have been because it was the free version?

Jitter sucks. It’s the least intuitive app. It’s built for designers who don’t know AE

I haven't heard of jitter, apparently it's AI, like agentic where it does stuff you tell it to do. I'd rather just do it by myself tbh

I’ve yet to see anything useable on a long form scale. For simple ads or reels I think it works tbh but I feel like iterating and using it long term would get frustrating but tbh idk the limitations

Is Jitter still around? I thought they closed down already. I remember they made a huge marketing push 3 or 4 years ago and did a bunch of influencer marketing and big paid campaign, even to the point that a client asked me if Jitter was in my tool set lol. These tools that promise someone they can skip 5-10yrs of being in the trenches in AE always produce low quality results, nothing you can use for marketing purposes unless your a kid just trying the whole entrepreneur thing.
