Adobe Aer Eects CS6 What’s New

You have creative visions for what you want to deliver. You also have deadlines.

Adobe After Effects CS6 software works with you to meet both goals. Deliver cinematic

visual effects and sophisticated motion graphics using the industry standard for

animation and compositing that offers you complete creative control while delivering

unparalleled performance.

After Effects CS6 takes performance to a new level with Global Performance Cache, which maximizes

your productivity by saving virtually every preview for instant recall, meaning less waiting for After

Effects to catch up. It works as fast as you do. Create and work with extruded text and shapes directly

in After Effects, using the new ray-traced 3D rendering engine for a polished final look. Master a wide

variety of challenges and extend your creativity with new tools such as variable mask feathering, 3D

Camera Tracker, Rolling Shutter Repair, and more high-quality built-in effects to make your final product

look the way you intend. Enhanced integration between After Effects CS6 and other Adobe tools makes

your workflow even faster and more fluid than ever before.

Top new features of Adobe After Effects CS6 Global Performance Cache The Global Performance Cache feature is a revolution ”under the hood” that makes After Effects faster and more responsive than ever before by taking full advantage of the power of your computer’s hardware. Global Performance Cache comprises a set of technologies: a global RAM cache, a persistent disk cache, and a new graphics pipeline.
PAGE 4
Additionally, this cache contains frames from all projects you have opened in the same or earlier sessions, so disk-cached frames from one project will be retrieved for reuse in other projects that need those same frames. You have control over which disk you use for caching as well as how much space to reserve for the cache. New graphics pipeline After Effects CS6 better harnesses OpenGL and the video card in your computer when drawing images to the screen.
PAGE 5
3D Camera Tracker The new 3D Camera Tracker effect automatically analyzes the motion present in 2D footage; computes the position, orientation, and field of view of the real camera that shot the scene; and creates a new 3D camera in After Effects to match. It also overlays 3D track points onto the 2D footage, making it easy and intuitive for you to attach new 3D After Effects layers onto the original footage.
PAGE 6
Fully ray-traced, extruded text and shapes After Effects CS6 introduces a new ray-traced 3D rendering engine, allowing you to simply and quickly design fully ray-traced, geometric text and shape layers in 3D space.
PAGE 7
Variable Mask Feathering With Variable Mask Feathering, you can work precisely and create the exact shape you want with the proper degree of softness at the edges, yielding more realistic composites as well as opening creative possibilities. After Effects has long had the ability to add a “feathered” soft edge to masked shapes, but in previous versions the width of the feather was the same around the entire mask.
PAGE 8
Rolling Shutter Repair Digital cameras with CMOS sensors—including video-capable DSLRs, which are becoming increasingly popular for the creation of films, commercials, and television shows—typically have what is commonly known as a “rolling” shutter, which captures a frame of video one scan line at a time. Due to time lag between scan lines, not all parts of the image are recorded at exactly the same time, causing motion to ripple down the frame.
PAGE 9
The CycoreFX HD Suite also includes effects not previously bundled with After Effects, such as Cross Blur, Color Neutralizer, Kernel, Threads, Environment, Rainfall, Snowfall, Block Load, Plastic, Line Sweep, WarpoMatic, and Overbrights, as well as enhancements such as support for motion blur and a composition’s 3D lights in the relevant CycoreFX effects.
PAGE 10
Improved mocha AE workflow The professional 2.5D planar tracking and rotoscoping tool mocha AE from Imagineer Systems continues to be bundled with After Effects. This tool, combined with Adobe’s own 3D Camera Tracker, Warp Stabilizer, and traditional 2D point tracker, fills out a full suite of tracking tools to take on whatever challenges your footage presents.
