Adobe Aer Eects CS6 What’s New
Rolling Shutter Repair
Digital cameras with CMOS sensors—including video-capable DSLRs, which are becoming
increasingly popular for the creation of films, commercials, and television shows—typically have
what is commonly known as a “rolling” shutter, which captures a frame of video one scan line at
a time. Due to time lag between scan lines, not all parts of the image are recorded at exactly the
same time, causing motion to ripple down the frame. If the camera or the subject is moving, the
rolling shutter can cause distortions, such as leaning buildings and other skewed images. Dealing
with this footage can cause headaches, especially when attempting to composite the footage with
nondistorted images, such as 3D layers and text.
After Effects CS6 includes an advanced Rolling Shutter Repair effect that contains two different
user-selectable algorithms to help fix problematic footage.

Enhanced effects
After Effects CS6 makes it easier to enhance the production value of your projects, with over 80
new and updated built-in effects.
The cornerstone of this bonanza for artists is the inclusion of the CycoreFX HD Suite. In contrast to
the 8-bit-per-channel CycoreFX previously bundled with After Effects, all 73 of the HD plug-ins—
including such popular effects as CC Sphere and CC Gradient Wipe—support 16-bit-per-channel
color; 35 of them support 32-bit floating point for maximum dynamic range. Among the many
benefits of increased color depth is reduced banding and other types of image degradation,
especially while applying color correction.

e CycoreFX HD Suite can be used in high-end visual eects and motion graphics jobs without concern about image quality.
Here, CC Sphere is used to animate a still image to create a dynamic background for this shot.
is skewed image is typical of scenes with fast movement shot with a digital
camera employing a CMOS sensor. Notice how it appears to lean slightly to
the le as a result.

Aer Eects CS6. In particular, the sticker on the tailgate is now a clean rectangle,
making it much easier to replace in post-production.
