• Paint nondestructively on layers to clean up footage, draw masks, clone elements, and 

create animations.

• Work with brushes similar to the ones in Photoshop. Customize brushes to control size, 

spacing, and angle, and save them for ongoing use.

• Remove unwanted distractions like dust and scratches, or replicate elements for a 

desired effect, like filling a stadium with people. The Clone tool offers multiple presets 
and onion skinning of the source frame.

• Animate individual paint strokes over time to change their size, position, or shape and 

to create write-on and write-off effects.

• Control whether the Eraser tool removes paint strokes only or paint strokes plus the 

underlying background footage.

• Use Wacom tablets for more precise control when painting in After Effects.

• Define Expressions that link the behavior of one layer property to that of another on 

any layer in the composition. Use new Behavior Presets to create Wiggles, Bounces, 
Drifts, Flashes, and more without setting keyframes.

• Link properties easily and intuitively with the pick whip interface.

• Use standard JavaScript to modify Expressions, or create your own from scratch.

• Reduce keystrokes and eliminate the need to memorize code with an extensive library 

of functions and commands.
