2D and 3D element combination
Work in 2D or 3D, or freely combine 2D and 3D elements in the same composition without having to change modes or redo your work. Default cameras and lights mean you don't have to set up additional elements just to add dimension to a layer.
3D camera data import
Import 3D camera and other 3D data from any 3D tracking software that can export Alias Maya ASCII (MA) files. You can also extract camera information from an RLA/RPF sequence and export After Effects camera data via a number of third-party additions.
Multiple 3D cameras per composition
Cut between multiple cameras in the same composition. Define unique cameras by angle of view, lens length, image area size, aperture, depth-of-field blur, and a host of other keyframable parameters.
Light falloff
Control how light intensity falls off across 3D distances, just as it does in the real world.
Innovative compositing and animation tools
Combine moving and still imagery, graphics, and text in 2D or 3D space. Animate practically any aspect of each element and add sound for virtually any result you can imagine.
Responsive 64-bit performance
Work effectively on high-resolution projects — even at 32-bit-per-channel color inside HD, 2K, and 4K compositions. Use all your system's RAM to see longer previews. With enhanced disk caching, you can spend less time waiting and more time creating.
Unparalleled Adobe integration
Enjoy a streamlined workflow with support for importing Adobe Photoshop® images and layer effects. Move easily between After Effects and Adobe Premiere® Pro software via Adobe Dynamic Link. Import Adobe Illustrator® files, and then animate each layer.

Unlimited creative options
Manipulate moving and still images using hundreds of effects such as stylize, distort, and shatter. Create grids, radio waves, particles, and more. Combine effects from a third-party ecosystem of plug-ins for Hollywood-caliber results.
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.

Work effectively on high-resolution projects — even at 32-bit-per-channel color inside HD, 2K, and 4K compositions. Use all your system's RAM to see longer previews. With enhanced disk caching, you can spend less time waiting and more time creating.
Roto Brush
Isolate foreground elements from backgrounds in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take using this revolutionary tool.
Warp Stabilizer
Smooth a bumpy camera move, or lock a shot automatically. Warp Stabilizer removes jitter and compensates for motion-related irregularities.
mocha for After Effects CS5.5 and mocha shape
Apply motion tracking to hand-drawn masks and import variable-width mask feathers. The mocha shape plug-in makes tracked masks available to After Effects.
