Datasheet
Adobe Encore™ DVD integration
• Easily add motion to static Adobe Encore menu designs in Aer Effects, save Aer Effects compositions
as layered Photoshop files to use as menus in Adobe Encore, and designate subcompositions as buttons
(Windows only).
Paths imported as masks
• Turn any Illustrator or Photoshop path into a mask or motion path for use on any layer.
Sizing imported layers
• Choose whether layers in Illustrator and Photoshop files import at their original size or at the same size as
the composition.
Streamlined user interface
Easy to learn and use
• Learn as you work with Tool Tips, context-sensitive menus, and comprehensive online Help.
Familiar Adobe interface
• Build on your Adobe expertise: Aer Effects uses Adobe-standard tools, palettes, menus, and shortcuts.
Enhanced interface
• Work more intuitively with the mouse wheel to zoom and scroll, adjust the brightness of the Aer Effects
interface, and more.
Parenting
Parent-child layers
• Create parent-child relationships between layers to efficiently apply transformations and other effects to
multiple layers.
Automatic changes
• Animate the scale or position of a parent layer and automatically apply the behavior to its child layers.
Flexible media management
Cross-platform workflows
• Share projects and files across Windows and Macintosh platforms.
Post-render actions
• Use post-render actions to streamline back-end production tasks, such as creating proxies or replacing
project footage with output from the Render Queue.
Resolution independence
• Mix multiple file resolutions from small thumbnails up to 30,000x30,000-pixel frames.
Convenient file management
• Use commands such as Find, Reveal, Reduce Project, and Collect Files to manage files easily.
Printable flowcharts
• View and print a flowchart of a composition or project to see how it’s organized and what footage, layers,
and effects are used.
