Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Animate your ideas. Adobe After Effects 7.0 software helps you create compelling motion graphics and blockbuster visual effects with efficiency, precision, and infinite variety. Take advantage of unmatched integration with other Adobe software, flexible 2-D and 3-D compositing, and hundreds of effects and Animation Presets to bring a new dimension to your film, video, DVD, and Macromedia Flash productions.

Production excellence

Superior output and extensive file format support
Produce professional output for film, video, DVD, and the Web in virtually every output format imaginable with the Render Queue. Simultaneously perform multiple renderings of a composition to different formats, and batch render files for greater efficiency.

Powerful masking tools
Easily design, edit, and work with masks using flexible auto-tracing options and RotoBezier masks.

Graph Editor
Create precise animations with the new Graph Editor, which offers complete visual control over keyframe editing and easy synchronization of animated properties across layers.

Professional color correction
Adjust the color of footage and other layer elements using color-correction tools similar to those in Adobe Photoshop software, as well as Color Finesse for high-end corrections.

Highest quality keying and matte tools
Key bluescreen and greenscreen mattes that rival those created in any other toolset with the Academy Award-winning Keylight (Professional edition only) and a host of supporting tools.

Intelligent workflow

Unmatched Adobe integration
Experience an efficient Adobe workflow: Import Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator files with attributes preserved, and, in Windows, import Adobe Premiere Pro projects, add motion to static Adobe Encore DVD software menus, export After Effects projects as Adobe Premiere Pro projects, and more.

Optimal performance
Preview and render compositions in real time with accelerated OpenGL support as well as intelligent RAM previewing and disk caching.

Redesigned, unified user interface
Work within an elegantly redesigned interface featuring workspace panels that dock and group for optimal organization, eliminating overlapping windows. Save custom workspaces, control UI brightness, and more.

Adobe Bridge
Simplify the everyday tasks of asset management with Adobe Bridge, which offers powerful ways to browse and search digital assets, preview and apply presets, work with metadata, manage files, and run batch processes.

5.0 out of 5 stars some nice improvments, January 15, 2007

This review is from: Adobe After Effects 7.0 Professional Upgrade from AE Pro (Mac) [OLD VERSION] (DVD-ROM)

The new layout of AE 7.0. is very smart and organised. Your workspace (project, composition, timeline, render queue and others) are all docked in one window. You move the window, you move them all. Yet, if you want to move these individually, you can easily "undock" them. You can create your own workspace.

The Animation pre-sets are a treat. Here you can create backgrounds with a click and drag of a mouse. These pre-sets can also be adjusted as well. Other pre-sets include Behaviours, Transistions, Paths, Image Special Effects, colour corrections, Text Animations, and even Sound Effects.

The other nice thing is the "graph editor" option in the time line. Now, like the Discreet products like Flint and Flame, you can make adjustments to your comps by looking at a graph of each parameter.

All in all, I think things run much smoother and the changes make your work much quicker.
