Adobe After Effects CC
NEW Live 3D Pipeline - Objects and scenes from popular 3D modeling and animation software
CINEMA 4D can be used directly as footage inside After Effects CC
without rendering first. This eases roundtripping between the programs
and opens up numerous creative possibilities.
NEW Refine Edge tool - It's
the end of hard matte lines. Keep the details when separating
complicated foreground elements like frizzy hair or motion-blurred edges
from complex backgrounds. This means you can create natural-looking
composites without keying specially shot footage.
NEW Warp Stabilizer VFX - A
major upgrade to the much-loved Warp Stabilizer, VFX adds the ability
to choose which objects within a scene get stabilized, reverse a
stabilization, and preserve a scene’s original scale to fix tricky shots such as aerial fly-throughs.
NEW 3D Camera Tracker - The
3D Camera Tracker makes it possible to reproduce the original camera
movement in a scene so you can add new layers including video and text
layers. It also now features much-requested Track Optimization, so you
can refine tracking points over time.
Global Performance Cache - Create
more in less time, even in high-resolution projects. With Global
Performance Cache, your previews are saved and ready when you are, even
if you close a project and open it later. Duplicate compositions and
undo edits without waiting for After Effects to catch up.
NEW Optimized and accelerated - Inspiration
doesn't like to wait. That's why After Effects crunches pixels using
multiple processors and has improved support for NVIDIA GPUs. It's a
full 64-bit application that uses all the RAM your OS allows, for caches
and to render multiple frames simultaneously.
NEW Pixel Motion Blur - Add or enhance motion blur for moving objects in live footage
and rendered scenes. You can use this effect to add realism, exaggerate
movement, match shots, and make stuttery footage easier to watch.
Text and shape layers - A
powerful typesetting and text animation engine lets you craft titles
from classic to manic, in either 2D or ray-traced extruded 3D. Define,
draw, and animate vector shapes to create almost anything from a
lower-third bar to animated characters.
Essential bundled software - After
Effects CC includes CINEMA 4D Lite for 3D animation, the award-winning
Keylight for color keying work, the popular motion tracker mocha for
After Effects, and the powerful color correction tool Color Finesse.
Plus Cycore FX HD adds dozens of creative effects.
Rich developer community - After
Effects is a media creation and processing platform that can be
extended with hundreds of third-party effects and file format plug-ins.
Download and install scripts created by fellow users to automate a
variety of essential tasks.
Deep, accurate color - See all of your sources as originally intended. Manage your source, monitor, and destination color spaces with color management and LUT support. Work at multiple bit depths, including 32-bit floating point, and well as linear gamma.
NEW Bicubic resampling - Whether
you’re scaling a layer up or down, you can make sure every pixel
looks its best with your choice of bilinear and bicubic resampling
algorithms.
Motion control tools - Choose
from a variety of options for controlling and smoothing motion within
your shots, including a graph editor, subpixel positioning, motion blur,
and frame blending. Multiple motion trackers and stabilizers are also
available.
Support for multiple dimensions - Work
smoothly in 2D, 2.5D, and extruded 3D spaces. You can even combine 2D
and 3D in the same composition. Use native 3D tools, and import data
such as camera position from a variety of dedicated 3D applications.
Hundreds of effects - If
you can imagine an effect, After Effects can help you create it.
Hundreds of plug-ins let you add blurs, shadows, distortions, particles,
colorizations, transitions, and much more. Effect presets help you get
the results you're looking for, fast.
Tools to mask, key, and rotoscope - There’s
more than one way to cut an alpha channel. That’s why After Effects
includes a variety of color keyers as well as the revolutionary Roto
Brush, which automatically finds the edges of objects. You also get
masks with variable-width feathering, and more.
NEW Streamlined user interface - More
tasks are now streamlined. Locate missing fonts and effects in your
compositions so you can relink or replace them quickly. New layer and
mask snapping behavior makes aligning both 2D and 3D objects much
simpler, without needing to calculate and type in values.
Animation presets - Save
time by using hundreds of presets to generate text animations,
backgrounds, shapes, lower thirds, transitions, and more. Plus you can
create and save your own. There are even behavior-style presets for
automatic movements.
Expression and scripting languages - Write
expressions that can control virtually every parameter stream in the
After Effects timeline to coordinate animations across layers or even
compositions. Create scripts to automate broader functions and
streamline repetitive actions.
Paint and clone tools - Use
vector-based brushes to clone, erase, and paint over any portion of
your image. Animate brush strokes to create hand-drawn effects. You can
use your Wacom tablet as well, including pressure support.
Avid AAF and FCP 7 XML import - Pro Import AE makes it possible to work with files created in Apple Final Cut Pro 7 or earlier versions, as well as Avid Media Composer and Symphony. This lets you integrate After Effects with a wider range of professional production workflows.
Support for multiple media types - Mix
media from multiple sources, including industry standards like
QuickTime and CinemaDNG, as well as vendor-specific formats such as
AVC-Intra, XDCAM, and RED raw files. Pair After Effects with Adobe Media Encoder CC to deliver your masterpiece to multiple devices.
Frame-accurate audio support - After
Effects offers multi-track audio support, including the ability to mix,
process, and even generate animations from your soundtracks. Extend
these powers with Adobe Audition®, also in Creative Cloud, for more
sophisticated audio editing chores.
NEW Adobe Anywhere integration - Work
in a group? Adobe Anywhere for video provides an innovative new way to
collaborate with other After Effects users on the same project.
(Integration expected in 2013; requires separate purchase and
implementation.)
