The big announcement for After Effects CC is the inclusion of the Cineware effect plug-in that allows you to use Cinema 4D files in your composition-with Cinema 4D as a renderer. Since Adobe’s introduction of Ray-Traced 3D in After Effects CS6, users have been wanting more 3D integration. Also, Adobe added improved import/export modes and encoding options, along with other enhanced usability features.
Some other great new features include bicubic sampling of layers, similar to scaling in Photoshop, plus footage clip reloading and a function to find missing files, effects, and fonts. However, with the Pixel Motion Blur effect applied, only the pixels in the highest degree of motion are blurred, giving a much softer effect similar to that of film shot with a slower shutter.Īpplying the Pixel Motion Blur effect to high-frame-rate footage renders a filmlike effect (left). In the side-by-side example below, the original footage (on the right) was shot at 60p and has an annoying high-frame-rate look to it, with no motion blur from the camera movement or the movement of the horse. This way, After Effects CC looks and feels exactly the same no matter where I’m working on a particular day. The best part is being able to sync my user preferences and settings when I change machines. Once I’m done for the day, I log out the software remains installed, but it is not functional until I log back in again on my next visit.
Because I have the option to log in to Creative Cloud, I can download and install After Effects CC (or any other CC software) and use it on my clients’ machines. Working animators and motion-graphics specialists often have long-term assignments on-site with clients who may not have the latest software. As a user, I no longer have to wait for new features or tool enhancements, because they become available as soon as the developers test them and ready them for distribution-they aren’t restricted to an arbitrary schedule.īetter still, my license can follow me wherever I’m working. The two primary benefits are continuous upgrades and the accessibility and flexibility of the software license. The benefits of Creative Cloud have turned out to be the most talked-about topic since Adobe’s announcement of the subscription-only program. For me, however, the real beauty of Adobe’s Creative Cloud is the ability to sync my user profiles and preferences between machines and to access my software and settings when I’m working remotely-simply by signing in with my Creative Cloud User ID.
