After Effects CS5.5 Windows

New features since CS5

Smooth unstable camera moves and create beautiful depth-of-field effects with Adobe® After Effects® CS5.5 software. Timecode support, quick stereo 3D setup, Roto Brush, and mocha for After Effects v2 all help you work more efficiently.

• 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.
• Light falloff
  Control how light intensity falls off across 3D distances, just as it does in the real world.
• RAW digital cinema workflow improvements
  Gain instant access to high-definition source formats. RED Rocket card and RMD metadata dramatically improve the performance and look of RED footage. Import footage in CinemaDNG format, an open standard that offers a common solution.
• Expanded color LUT support
  Expand your color management options by using additional LUT variants in the 3DL and CUBE formats to simulate film and alternate devices or to apply different looks to your footage. Export 3D LUTs to promote more consistent, predictable color.
• Save As After Effects CS5
  Work easily on projects with colleagues still using After Effects CS5: Save projects in After Effects CS5 format to take advantage of new features and performance improvements without the need for colleagues to upgrade.
• Small changes that make a big difference
  Benefit from big productivity gains: more efficient rendering with improved disk caching, review of recent searches, and new sorting options in the Project panel.
• Affordable subscription option
  Get ongoing access to After Effects CS5.5 software for an affordable monthly fee. Choose a one-year plan for lower payments or a flexible month-to-month plan you can stop and restart as needed.
• XDCAM HD export
  Render in the XDCAM HD format using multiple bitrates, pixel aspect ratios, and frame rates. This allows you to roundtrip footage shot on popular Sony cameras so that your output is consistent with files being edited directly from source.
