May 7th, 2012Global Performance Cache:
· Create more in less time, even in high-resolution projects. This revolution "under the hood" makes After Effects fast and responsive by taking full advantage of the 64-bit power in your computer’s hardware.
3D camera tracker:
· Track 3D elements with complete control over depth of field, shadows, and reflections. Automatically analyze and place 3D track points onto 2D footage in the background while you work.
Ray-traced, extruded text and shapes:
· Extrude fully ray-traced text and shapes natively and take full advantage of reflections, environment maps, and more.
Variable mask feathering:
· Create a separate set of splines to precisely control mask feathering. Get the exact shape you want with the proper degree of softness at any point along the mask edge, resulting in a big boost to creative flexibility.
Integration with Adobe Illustrator:
· Instantly convert Illustrator vector art (AI and EPS format) into shape layers. Easily animate vector art in 2D or extrude to 3D.
Rolling shutter repair:
· Remove rolling shutter artifacts such as skew and wobble without forcing stabilization.
Avid AAF and FCP 7 XML file import with Pro Import AE:
· Import and work with files created in Apple Final Cut Pro 7 or earlier versions, as well as Avid Media Composer and Symphony, letting you integrate After Effects with professional production workflows.
mocha for After Effects CS6:
· Launch mocha for After Effects CS6 directly within After Effects CS6.
Warp Stabilizer:
· Smooth handheld footage, or lock a shot automatically. Warp Stabilizer removes jitter and compensates for motion-related irregularities.
Source timecode support:
· Take the guesswork out of source footage edits. See timecode data in QuickTime, AVI, Broadcast WAV (BWF), DPX, and some variations of MXF, and use the Timecode effect to display both source timecode and composition frames.
3D lights and cameras:
· Work in 3D space using tools including Camera Lens Blur; light falloff; 3D camera data input; multiple 3D cameras per composition; and the ability to keyframe x, y, and z values separately.
Raw digital cinema workflow:
· Use high-definition source formats instantly. RED Rocket card and RMD metadata dramatically improve the performance and look of RED footage. Import footage in the open CinemaDNG format.
Color LUT support:
· Get consistent color using industry-standard 3DL and CUBE lookup tables. Create your own color LUT files as exports from Color Finesse. The Apply Color LUT effect supports .Look files from Adobe SpeedGrade™ CS6 software.
Camera Lens Blur:
· Create soft-focus effects with Camera Lens Blur. Set iris shape, blade curvature, and diffraction fringe characteristics for beautiful bokeh. Use these settings for depth-of-field control with the After Effects 3D camera.
Stereoscopic 3D workflow:
· Animate and composite stereoscopic projects easily. Quickly set up stereo camera rigs. Save time with simplified rendering of multiple cameras, and work with an updated 3D Glasses effect.
Light falloff:
· Control how light intensity falls off across 3D distances, just as it does in the real world.
Color-correction effects:
· Edit color with a wide variety of effects, including Color Finesse 3 LE to create LUTs, Photoshop based color-correction and tinting tools, access to broadcast colors and gamma/pedestal/gain, and tools to isolate/change hues.
XDCAM HD export:
· Render in the XDCAM HD format using multiple bitrates, pixel aspect ratios, and frame rates. Roundtrip footage shot on popular Sony cameras so that your output is consistent with files being edited directly from source.
Save As After Effects CS5.5:
· Work easily on projects with colleagues still using After Effects CS5.5: Save projects in After Effects CS5.5 format to take advantage of new features and performance improvements without the need for colleagues to upgrade.
June 30th, 2011· addresses issues with some serial numbers for upgrades from After Effects CS5 to After Effects CS5.5.
April 9th, 2011Notable fixes:
· Issue where users may encounter a persistent “unexpected data type” error message when opening projects containing missing effects with layer parameters at non-default values. (54666)
· Crashing condition when importing compositions created with Automatic Duck’s Pro Import AE plug-in. (W2796549)
· Crashing condition when using the Directional Blur effect with Mthread.plugin enabled. (55603)

· Benefit from dozens of customer-requested refinements that yield big productivity gains, such as the ability to align layers to comps.
Color Finesse:
· Enjoy an enhanced color correction workflow with the new features, finer control over hue and saturation, and ability to export settings as color lookup tables (LUTs) in Color Finesse LE 3.
DigiEffects FreeForm:
· Turn flat objects into virtually any 3D shape using this popular 3D mesh warp plug-in.
· Expand your video options
· Apply motion tracking to hand-drawn masks and import variable-width mask feathers. The powerful mocha shape plug-in is also included.
Auto-Keyframe Mode:
· Animate quickly by setting starting keyframes automatically.
Close lookColor Look-Up Table (LUT) support:
· Get consistent color in your workflow by using industry-standard 3DL and CUBE lookup tables.
Refine Matte effect:
· Apply intelligent edge tracking, dechattering, and motion blurring capabilities to any layer with a problematic alpha channel, such as keyed footage.
May 29th, 2009· Provides a number of critical stability fixes. We strongly recommend you install this update.
December 11th, 2008· Provides updates to Mocha for After Effects, as well as general stability and performance fixes.
