Top new features in Adobe® After Effects® CS6

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, using an improved version of technology originally introduced with Warp Stabiliser.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Q. Why doesn’t Adobe support 32-bit operating systems anymore?

A: Based on customer feedback regarding performance being critical, and also from a technology perspective, Adobe knows that only 64-bit operating systems can deliver the power video professionals require. By focusing on 64-bit operating systems and native 64-bit support for After Effects, Adobe offer superior performance and large-project stability.

Q: Don’t I need a node-based compositing tool for high-end visual effects work?

A: After Effects already offers the flexibility of node-based tools; often at a fraction of the cost. You can precompose elements into their own composition module and use track mattes, stencil and silhouette alpha modes that apply to multiple layers, a vast number of plug-in effects, and a powerful Expressions language to create dynamic relationships between parameters.

Q: Can After Effects deliver the performance that professionals require?

A: After Effects offers native 64-bit operating system support for optimal performance and the ability to use all the RAM that your operating system allows. With Global Performance Cache, OpenGL acceleration, RAM and disk caching, and multiprocessor and multicore support - including the ability to render multiple frames in parallel - After Effects can deliver the performance you need.
