Adobe® After Effects® CS5.5 software adds high-fidelity OpenGL support for camera depth of field and nested compositions to existing support for blending modes, adjustment layers, track mattes, accelerated effects, anti-aliasing, 2D motion blur, lights, and shadows.

On both Mac OS X and Windows®, display card drivers that support OpenGL 2.0 or later are required to take advantage of OpenGL support in After Effects.

Please ensure the most recent driver for your display card is installed. See the technical document for more information.
