Top features and benets of After Eects CS3 Professional
Innovative compositing and
animation tools
Create high-impact communications by
combining moving imagery, still images
and graphics, text, and sound in 2D or 3D
space and then animating virtually any aspect
of each element.
Unmatched Adobe integration
Enjoy a streamlined workow with support
for importing Adobe Photoshop images that
include video layers as well as Adobe
Illustrator graphics that maintain image
integrity. Move easily between Aer Eects
and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 or Encore CS3
soware, and share animations easily with
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional soware.
Text and vector graphics creation
and animation
Create text and vector graphics in Aer Eects
using familiar Adobe tools, and then animate
these elements to create visually innovative
new motion graphics.
Extensive visual eects
Manipulate moving and still images using
hundreds of eects such as stylize, distort,
and shatter. Create grids, radio waves, 3D
particles, lm grain, fractal noise, and more.
Timesaving tools
Start projects quickly with animation presets
and behaviors when creating common
animation elements, such as animating text
in and out, creating synthetic backgrounds,
and more. Use new Brainstorm to quickly
experiment and rene designs using
parameters you dene. Learn fast with Tool
Tips and training resources in the box and
on the web, and streamline your review
process with Adobe Clip Notes to create and
import comments.
Comprehensive masking and keying tools
Control which portions of a layer are visible
by importing, manipulating, and animating
masks. Flexible auto-tracing options and
RotoBezier masks make it easy to get precise
results. Key bluescreen and greenscreen
mattes with the Academy Award-winning
Keylight and a host of supporting tools.
Powerful motion controls
Animate graphics and text using the Puppet
tool. Apply motion blur to produce more
realistic animations, or use Timewarp to slow
down and speed up footage. Precisely match
the motion of source footage using Motion
Tracker, and get the look of a locked-o shot
using Motion Stabilizer.
