Adobe
After Effects
is a digital visual effects, motion graphics,
and compositing
application developed by Adobe Systems
and used in the post-production process of filmmaking
and television production. Among other things, After Effects
can be used for keying, tracking,
rotoscoping,
compositing
and animation.
It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor,
audio editor and media transcode.
Description
Adobe
After Effects is primarily used as a software for video editors, to create
motion graphics and also visual effects. It allows users to animate, edit, and
compose media be it 2D or 3D space with many different built-in tools and third
party plug-ins which can be downloaded from the Internet depending on what type
of plug in the user is looking for. It also provides individual attention to
variables like parallax and also user adjustable angles of observation.
Adobe
After Effects is a layer-oriented program software. Each individual media
object like video clips, still images, audio clips, etc. runs on its own. In
contrast, other Non-Linear Editing Systems use a system where individual media
objects can occupy the same track as long as they do not overlap at the same
time. This track-oriented system is more suitable for editing and can keep
project files more simple. The layer oriented system that Adobe After Effects
has is suitable for extensive video effects work and also keyframing. Other
compositing packages, especially the ones that employ tree or node workflows,
such as Nuke Software, and eYeon Fusion, are better suited to managing larger
volumes of objects within a composite. Adobe After Effects is capable of
countering the problem somewhat by selectively hiding layers or by grouping
them into pre-compositions.
The
main interface of Adobe After Effects consists of several panels. Three of the
most commonly used panels are the Project Panel, Composition Panel, and the
Timeline Panel. The project panel acts as a bin to important still
images,videos or audio footage items. Footage files in the Project Panel are
used in the Timeline Panel, where layer ordering and timing can be adjusted
according to the user. The items visible at the current time marker are
displayed in the Composition Panel.
Adobe
After Effects shares many of the same features with other Adobe programs, such
as creating shapes, that are defined by bezier curves. Like Adobe Photoshop and
Adobe Illustrator, After Effects can import and manipulate many image formats,
filters, and adjustments.
Adobe
After Effects integrates with other Adobe Software Programs such as Adobe
Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore and Adobe Flash.
Additionally, it works with third party 3D programs like Cinema 4D, Lightwave
3D, and Autodesk 3D Max.
Major Features
It
Includes shape layers, puppet tool, brainstorm, clip notes, Photoshop vanishing
point import, adaptive motion blur, per character 3D text animation, real-time
audio playback, simultaneous multi-frame rendering, SWF vector import, 32-bit
linear blending, full color management; first Universal Binary Intel Mac
version.
Plug-ins
After Effects has extensive
plug-in support; a broad range of third party
plug-ins are available. A variety of plug-in styles exist, such as particle
systems for realistic effects for rain, snow, fire, etc.
With or without third-party
plug-ins, After Effects can render 3D effects. Some of these 3D plug-ins use
basic 2D layers from After Effects.
In addition to 3D effects,
there are plug-ins for making video look like film or cartoons; simulating
fire, smoke, or water; particle systems; slow motion; creating animated charts,
graphs, and other data visualization; calculating the 3D movement of a camera
in a 2D video shot; eliminating flicker, noise, or rigging lines; translating
timelines from FCP or Avid; adding high-end color correction; and other workflow
improvements and visual effects.
