Product Overview
(All Features - .pdf)
Adobe After Effects CS3 Professional software helps you bring your vision to life with blockbuster visual effects and compelling motion graphics for film, video, DVD, the web, and mobile devices.

Innovate visually
32-bit 2D and 3D compositing and animation Flexible 8-, 16-, and 32-bit color modes
Start a composition in 8-bit color mode, and then finalize and output it to 16-bit or 32-bit color for optimal quality. Produce work that is film- and HDTV-ready using the broader range of colors available in 16- and
32-bit color modes.

GPU acceleration
Mix and match 2D and 3D layers in a single composition and design in real time using OpenGL acceleration. OpenGL 2.0 capabilities include blend modes, 2D motion blur, common effects, shadows, transparency, and more.

Cameras and lights for 3D compositions
Create and animate multiple cameras and lights. Specify a point of interest, produce soft shadows, and simulate different types of lights to add depth.

3D compositions from Vanishing Point
Export Vanishing Point data from Adobe Photoshop® CS3 Extended software, and then import the data into After Effects to automatically build a 3D composition from the 2D Photoshop image.

Multiple views and workspaces
See how layers interact in space and manipulate a composition from multiple perspectives using multiple views. Use predefined workspaces or create your own to contextually streamline your workflow.

Adaptive motion blur
Automatically adjust motion blur based on the speed of the layer to provide higher quality output for fast-moving objects and high-quality and faster rendering for slow- moving objects.

Projection layers and colored shadows
Project light through a layer to create colored shadows, stained-glass effects, and the look of projected slides.

Quick arrangement of multiple layers
Quickly arrange multiple layers in time with the Sequence Layers keyframe assistant, and arrange layers in space with the Align and
Distribute tools.

Adjustment layers
Create adjustment layers similar to those in Photoshop to apply effects to any layers that appear below them
