After Effects gives users decent control, but Adobe tracking and cloud collaboration still shape the privacy edge around creative work.
After Effects is strongest where users can manage exports, account rights, cloud assets, and team sharing without a public-first model.
The weakest area is the wider Adobe ecosystem around telemetry, analytics, account linking, and optional cloud-based creative workflows.
