Deliver cinematic visual effects and sophisticated motion graphics with Adobe After Effects
CS5.5 software, the industry-leading native 64-bit animation and compositing application,
now with sophisticated stabilization, lens and lighting effects, and the most efficient
performance ever.
After Effects CS5.5 delivers 64-bit performance that dramatically improves the experience of creating
high resolution content. Streamlined tools and tight integration with other Creative Suite components
accelerate your workflow, and an open-ended environment fosters creative experimentation. Realize
your vision quickly and efficiently with a comprehensive set of tools designed to help you solve any
creative challenge. Deliver your completed projects to a wide range of formats, from large-format feature
films and high definition television to websites and mobile devices. After Effects CS5.5 adds the Warp
Stabilizer, which raises the quality of handheld footage, and Camera Lens Blur, which faithfully recreates
the look of a defocused camera lens, whether applied as an effect or with the After Effects 3D camera.
These new features add to a wide range of innovative 2D and 3D creation, compositing, and animation
tools in After Effects. New timecode support takes the guesswork out of selecting source footage directly,
and a stereoscopic 3D workflow speeds what is otherwise a tedious setup process. Take advantage of
enhanced RED camera support added in the 10.0.1 upgrade of After Effects CS5 by working with Red
Rocket cards and accessing RMD metadata. Import Cinema DNG files, and export comps as XDCAM EX
files. Expanded color look-up-table (LUT) support helps you ensure accuracy across a variety of image-
creation and delivery platforms.
