Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Adobe After Effects 5.0 enables you to create motion graphics and visual effects for professional cross-media delivery. It is a complete tool set for 2-D and 3-D compositing, animation, and effects for film, video, multimedia, and the Web, and offers tight integration with Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.

After Effects 5.0 features the Adobe user interface familiar to anyone who uses Photoshop, Illustrator, or Premiere. The tabbed windows, tabbed palettes, common tools, and common keyboard shortcuts make it possible to move among the programs with ease. Other features, such the pen tool, align palette, rulers and guides, editing tools, and free transform mode, also work in After Effects just as they do in other Adobe products.

When you import a layered Photoshop file as a composition, After Effects retains layers and other key Photoshop settings. You can transform layered Photoshop images into animations with ease. Import files as compositions one at a time or in batches: After Effects preserves layers, common layer effects, adjustment layers, alpha channels, transfer modes, vector masks, and more. You can then apply visual effects to color correct, stylize, or manipulate each layer, and to animate these layers over time. Use Photoshop paths as mask or motion points. Move easily between Photoshop and After Effects to complete your work. Similarly convenient integration is possible with Illustrator and Premiere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Problems when installed in WIN NT 4.0, May 4, 2001

This review is from: Adobe After Effects 5.0 Pro [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

After I received confirmation from Amazon that this program would run in an Windows NT 4.0 enviroment, I bought it.

It turns out that Adobe After Effects 5.0 was developed for and tested in WIN2000, WINME and WIN98. As a result, you can not obtain the full potential of After Effects if used on a WIN NT 4.0 base.

If you decide to use it on WIN NT 4.0, it is recommended to use the Service Pack 6.0 and Windows Media Player 6.4. You could encounter problems as: not being able to "render" files larger that 2.0 Gigas; After Effects will not be able to import compressed files in Type-1 DV Microsoft DV-NTSC format; The system would freeze or gives back an error message when you try to import or play Wave (*.wav) or MP· (*.mp3) files. These you would heve to import as "Quicktime" files.
