What are the BEST character rigging tools for After Effects? Well, I know my top 3, and in this video I'm going to compare them all. Even though After Effects was never meant for character animation, third-party developers have made it possible for us to rig and animate characters. Each tool does things differently and has both strengths and weaknesses. By the end of this video I hope you can decide for yourself which tool is best for the job.
