Adobe After Effects CS5 software delivers the outstanding performance and visual richness 
required to succeed in today’s media culture. New native 64-bit support lets you tap  
more of your computer’s power to work efficiently with complex HD, 2K, and 4K projects. 
Plus, a broad range of innovative features—from the revolutionary new Roto Brush to 
dozens of subtle but important changes that streamline your workflow—enable you to 
create amazing motion graphics and blockbuster visual effects while delivering your work 
to the widest possible variety of screens.

With Adobe After Effects CS5, you can:

Get 64-bit performance. Take advantage of all available RAM and processor cores to quickly craft 
complex 3D scenes and camera moves, work on large frames, preview long deeply-layered composites, 
and batch-render your results to a variety of output file formats.

Innovate visually. After Effects CS5 includes Mocha for After Effects CS5 v2 with the Mocha Shape 
plug-in, Color Finesse 3, and Digieffects FreeForm (note that these third-party plug-ins included with 
After Effects CS5 have a user interface that is English only). Combine this new power with the wide range 
of innovative 2D and 3D creation, compositing, and animation tools already in After Effects, and it’s clear 
that CS5 is a must-have release that expands your creative horizons. 

Composite efficiently. Execute post-production tasks faster than ever—at maximum bit depth, and 
at virtually any frame size—thanks to the revolutionary new Roto Brush, new support for color LUTs,  
and other breakthroughs. Efficient production pipelines, including support for XMP metadata, are 
increasingly important in complex digital production workflows—and After Effects CS5 delivers 
innovations across the board. 

Deliver everywhere. Work with a wider range of media types—now including AVC-Intra and expanded 
RED camera support—and render your final results in formats from mobile media to feature films at 
maximum bit depth and resolution, using industry-unique color management and new custom Color 
Look-Up Table (LUT) support to help ensure accurate results across a variety of delivery platforms.
