What's new in After Effects?
Upgrade to After Effects CS6 for unprecedented performance that enables more experimentation without rerendering, powerful new 3D capabilities, and over 90 new and updated built-in effects.
Features
Create visual effects faster in Adobe® After Effects® CS6 software with
Global Performance Cache, which optimizes and keeps your previews so you
can beat deadlines instead of waiting for frame updates. Boost your
creativity with a new 3D engine for text and shape extrusions, a 3D
camera tracker, and variable-width mask feathering.
Global Performance Cache
Create more in less time. With new Global Performance Cache, your
previews are saved and ready when you are — no more waiting for the
application to catch up. This revolution "under the hood" makes After
Effects extremely fast and responsive by taking full advantage of the
power of your computer’s hardware for visual effects and motion
graphics.
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.
Variable mask feathering
Precisely specify feather values at any place along a mask, not just at
its vertices. Control falloff and shape of feathering, resulting in a
big boost to creative flexibility.
New and updated effects
Enhance your creativity with 90 new and updated built-in effects, including the complete 16- and 32-bit CycoreFX HD suite.
