Takes your visuals to the next level

Pros

Well I have used it occasionally in a simple way. Also it is fully equipped for animations and it gives me better results compared to tools like Canva.

Cons

It is not ideal for beginners and requires quite a bit of time to master. I spent months learning the basic concepts and even now I would not call myself a pro.
