Still using Adobe® After Effects® CS5 software? When you upgrade to After Effects CS6, you'll also reap the benefits of all the great features introduced in After Effects CS5.5.
Global Performance Cache
Create more in less time, even in high-resolution projects. This revolution "under the hood" makes After Effects fast and responsive by taking full advantage of the 64-bit power in your computer’s hardware.
3D camera tracker
Track 3D elements with complete control over depth of field, shadows, and reflections. Automatically analyze and place 3D track points onto 2D footage in the background while you work.
Ray-traced, extruded text and shapes
Extrude fully ray-traced text and shapes natively and take full advantage of reflections, environment maps, and more.
Variable mask feathering
Create a separate set of splines to precisely control mask feathering. Get the exact shape you want with the proper degree of softness at any point along the mask edge, resulting in a big boost to creative flexibility.
Integration with Adobe Illustrator
Instantly convert Illustrator vector art (AI and EPS format) into shape layers. Easily animate vector art in 2D or extrude to 3D.
Rolling shutter repair
Remove rolling shutter artifacts such as skew and wobble without forcing stabilization.
Avid AAF and FCP 7 XML file import with Pro Import AE
Import and work with files created in Apple Final Cut Pro 7 or earlier versions, as well as Avid Media Composer and Symphony, letting you integrate After Effects with professional production workflows.
mocha for After Effects CS6
Launch mocha for After Effects CS6 directly within After Effects CS6*.
Warp Stabilizer
Smooth handheld footage, or lock a shot automatically. Warp Stabilizer removes jitter and compensates for motion-related irregularities.
Source timecode support
Take the guesswork out of source footage edits. See timecode data in QuickTime, AVI, Broadcast WAV (BWF), DPX, and some variations of MXF, and use the Timecode effect to display both source timecode and composition frames.
3D lights and cameras
Work in 3D space using tools including Camera Lens Blur; light falloff; 3D camera data input; multiple 3D cameras per composition; and the ability to keyframe x, y, and z values separately.
Raw digital cinema workflow
Use high-definition source formats instantly. RED Rocket card and RMD metadata dramatically improve the performance and look of RED footage. Import footage in the open CinemaDNG format.
Color LUT support
Get consistent color using industry-standard 3DL and CUBE lookup tables. Create your own color LUT files as exports from Color Finesse. The Apply Color LUT effect supports .Look files from Adobe SpeedGrade™ CS6 software.
Camera Lens Blur
Create soft-focus effects with Camera Lens Blur. Set iris shape, blade curvature, and diffraction fringe characteristics for beautiful bokeh. Use these settings for depth-of-field control with the After Effects 3D camera.
Stereoscopic 3D workflow
Animate and composite stereoscopic projects easily. Quickly set up stereo camera rigs. Save time with simplified rendering of multiple cameras, and work with an updated 3D Glasses effect.
Light falloff
Control how light intensity falls off across 3D distances, just as it does in the real world.
Color-correction effects
Edit color with a wide variety of effects, including Color Finesse 3 LE to create LUTs, Photoshop based color-correction and tinting tools, access to broadcast colors and gamma/pedestal/gain, and tools to isolate/change hues.
XDCAM HD export
Render in the XDCAM HD format using multiple bitrates, pixel aspect ratios, and frame rates. Roundtrip footage shot on popular Sony cameras so that your output is consistent with files being edited directly from source.
Save As After Effects CS5.5
Work easily on projects with colleagues still using After Effects CS5.5: Save projects in After Effects CS5.5 format to take advantage of new features and performance improvements without the need for colleagues to upgrade.
