Overview What is After Effects?
Adobe After Effects CS5.5 software is the industry-leading solution for creating sophisticated motion graphics and cinematic visual effects. Transform moving images for delivery to theaters, living rooms, personal computers, and mobile devices
What's new?
Warp Stabilizer Smooth a bumpy camera move, or lock a shot automatically. Warp Stabilizer removes jitter and compensates for motion-related irregularities. Camera Lens Blur Create soft-focus effects with Camera Lens Blur. Set iris shape, blade curvature, and diffraction fringe characteristics for beautiful bokeh, and use these same settings for fantastic depth-of-field control with the After Effects 3D camera Source timecode support Take the guesswork out of source footage edits. Timecode data in QuickTime, AVI, Broadcast WAV (BWF), DPX, and some variations of MXF is read directly in After Effects, and the Timecode effect can display both source timecode and composition frames Stereoscopic 3D workflow improvements Animate and composite stereoscopic projects more easily. Quickly set up stereo camera rigs. Save time with simplified rendering of multiple cameras, and work with an updated 3D Glasses effect Features
Animate and composite flexibly in 2D and 3D Solve visual problems quickly and efficiently using Adobe After Effects CS5.5 software by drawing on a comprehensive set of tools designed to help you meet any creative or technical challenge Create and animate text and vector graphics Work with text flexibly and creatively — edit it, add depth to it, animate it, convert it into editable paths to animate the vertices, or export animated text as vector-based SWF files. Use Shape Layers to animate vector graphics easily Choose among extensive visual effects Explore the possibilities with the wide range of visual effects available in After Effects. Use effects to correct color, blur or sharpen images, distort footage, turn flat objects into 3D shapes, and perform many other creative feats Fluidly key, mask, rotoscope, and paint composites Work efficiently with an unlimited number of masks, imported or created in After Effects. Animate masks and their parameters over time. Take advantage of Academy Award–winning Keylight from The Foundry, Roto Brush, and other compositing tools Take control of motion and keyframesControl keyframe values and the timing of motion with precision using tools such as mocha for After Effects CS5.5 planar tracking, the Keyframe Graph Editor, Timewarp, and roving keyframes Work with pristine color Correct and optimize color in your compositions, and produce work that is film and HDTV ready using the broader range of colors available in 16- and 32-bit color modes. Work with HDR color images. Use color management to keep color consistent Use creative building blocks Get a head start on your project using animation presets, shape presets, template compositions, Brainstorm, and other creative timesaving tools that help you realize your vision more quickly Automate with scripting Link individual parameters, effects, and layers within a project using expressions. You can also use the robust scripting support in After Effects to automate repetitive tasks and add custom capabilities to the application Work with 32-bit audio Manage and process your audio without leaving After Effects using advanced audio effects. Control audio levels for each layer separately. Use Adobe Media Encoder to write compressed audio formats Gain professional results for every media type Master modern media. Deliver your completed projects to the widest range of formats, from large-format feature films and high-definition television to websites and mobile devices Integrate seamlessly with Adobe Creative Suite Build projects from 3D models in Adobe Photoshop Extended, Adobe Premiere® Pro sequences, FLV files, and motion paths created from Adobe Illustrator paths. Using any Adobe Creative Suite® 5.5 component, work easily with colleagues — even those still using After Effects CS5 Leverage outstanding performance Work more quickly with 64-bit performance that dramatically improves the experience of creating HD and higher resolution content. Streamlined tools, advanced OpenGL capabilities, intelligent caching, and unified memory management also accelerate your workflow Paint and clone with nondestructive vector brushes Explore creative possibilities with customizable nondestructive vector brushes. Use the advanced Clone tool to remove unwanted distractions or to replicate multiple specific elements. Animate individual paint strokes Save time with efficient tools and a customizable interface Keep your work focused and efficient with project management tools, customizable workspaces, a targetable Layer panel, searchable timelines and projects, and the ability to quickly align layers
