Unlike the previous image stabilizer, which is still here by the way, “Warp Stabilizer” is applied like a regular plugin, and does not automatically create key frames in your composition. The Warp Stabilizer is an insanely easy to use effect that can help you achieve the look of a steadicam, and it works surprisingly well. New specifically to CS5.5 are the “Warp Stabilizer” & “Camera Lens Blur.” Given the built-in effects, and a seemingly endless supply of third party plug-ins, After Effects can help you with just about anything short of creating your own Jar-Jar Binks.

The CS5.5 update, much like the Premiere Pro update, has included many more native camera codecs, mostly for RED, allowing you to work with your footage, straight out of the camera, with no need to re-encode it. Additionally, you can also export an After Effects composition to Adobe Encore, helping you create some cool motion menus for your DVDs, where each layer has the potential to be a selectable button. My favorite feature, which has been present in the last couple updates, is still the ability to render out an After Effects project in your Premiere time line via the Dynamic Link.
Integration with Adobe Premiere Pro is excellent. Apple's competing program, Motion, is likely a much easier program for the beginner, as it supplies many stock backgrounds and graphics, while the layout of After Effects is much less clunky and makes more sense for complex projects. I've been using it for 10 years or so and still find myself watching YouTube tutorials every other day to learn new tricks.
The basics are fairly easy to pickup, while complete mastery of the program could take some time. So for those familiar with previous versions, you'll find that not much has changed which can be considered good or bad depending on how you look at things.įor those new to After Effects, it might seem intimidating at first. How often do you find yourself in a situation where you need to fine tune your video, and Premiere or Final Cut just isn't cutting it? It's been called “Photoshop for video,” which makes a lot of sense. Adobe After Effects has long been considered a must have for any type of 2D, and an ever increasing amount of 3D, graphics work.
