Take on any project, big or small, and playback your entire composition with way less waiting. Keep your creative momentum in top gear with the latest in After Effects (beta).
All the colors, all the luminosity, across the board — new HDR monitoring in After Effects (beta) gives you complete color consistency and control. So throughout your workflow, what you see is what you get.
An expanded range of 3D tools means you can trigger embedded animations, cast ultrarealistic shadows on 2D objects, and isolate effects in 3D space.
Access your go-to animation settings in one convenient place with the context-sensitive Properties panel.
After Effects has over 30 new animation presets, number-counting tools — and slick interface improvements. So now you can knock out any project fast.
Easily select and separate any object from the background, even wind-swept hair and transparent elements, with the AI-powered Roto Brush.
Create animated titles, lower thirds, or any other kind of text from scratch, or start with a customizable preset.
Get precise control over your animations with powerful keyframe tools. Change an object’s position, scale, opacity, and more over time.
Add motion and transitions to icons, graphics, and logos, or composite and animate new shapes. Choose from hundreds of presets and filters to get just the right look.
Bring characters or shapes to life and simulate realistic movement with the Puppet tool, Graph Editor, Wiggle Expression, and Motion Blur.
Avoid repeat work with parent layers, which apply their animation properties to any linked layers.
Use expressions to streamline repetitive tasks, enable animations to respond to specific variables, or connect animations to external data sources for data-driven visualizations.
Animate 3D objects right alongside 2D graphics in a true 3D workspace with tools designed specifically for 3D.
Bring 3D models from Cinema 4D or Adobe Substance 3D into After Effects — no pre-rendering required.
Cast shadows from 3D objects onto 2D elements and blend your effects with 3D depth data.
Animate your 3D models using camera layers, which let you move through and around a 3D scene as if you were filming it.
Use any image as a light source with Image Based Lighting to create a natural-looking environment for your 3D animations.
Produce high-quality, photorealistic 3D motion graphics faster than ever with the GPU-accelerated Advanced 3D Renderer.
Bring different clips into a single scene to create totally new worlds. Add giant flamingos, a speeding train, or anything else you can imagine.
Follow the movement of any object in your clip. Replace the screens on mobile phones, attach text to a moving subject, or surround a marching band with musical notes.
Place a character in a totally new environment. With powerful keying tools, you can replace backgrounds, apply visual effects, or add new elements to your scene.
Make it rain, add some snow, or finesse the lighting of a scene with simple presets you can adjust to create realistic effects.
Correct colors with tools for brightness, contrast, and white balance, and then get creative with color grading tools like color balance and LUTs.
Erase anything from an accidental boom mic to people in the background. Content-Aware Fill will fill in the gaps in every video frame so you’re left with clean, polished footage.
