![]() The most publicized new feature in After Effects CS5 is the Roto Brush tool. With improved color management and the included plug-ins like Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse 3 and Apply Color LUT, it’s easy to add these native formats to your production directly from the source. After Effects CS5 can now read native AVC-Intra files from Panasonic’s P2 cards, and raw R3D (RED Cam) footage. AVC-Intra and RED compatibilityĪs the popularity of tapeless HD digital video workflows increases, so do the demands for post-production to accommodate these new formats with a minimal amount of pre-processing and data wrangling. And you will need to upgrade all of your third-party plug-ins to 64-bit versions, which will most assuredly cost you extra-and that’s assuming the plug-in manufacturer has a 64-bit version available.Īfter Effects is not backward compatible with older versions, so it’s a good idea to keep your copy of After Effects CS4 installed so you can work on your existing projects and access your 32-bit plug-ins. One caveat: you must be running OS X 10.5.7 or higher for After Effects CS5 to install. ![]() ![]() This is huge news for post-production and motion graphics pros, especially if you have a loaded multi-core workstation. RAM usage is optimized to give you longer RAM Previews too. My personal comparisons for RAM previews on similar projects, on the same MacBook Pro (a 2.6GHz Intel Core Duo with 4GB of RAM) gave me an average of about 35 percent faster RAM previews and project rendering time.
