Still using After Effects CS3?
For those still using After Effects CS3, upgrading to After Effects CS5 also gives you the chance to 
catch up on all the great features added in After Effects CS4. These features greatly enhance your 
productivity, as well as provide groundbreaking integration with other Adobe software. Some of 
these features include:
•  Searchable timelines and projects. Search projects for specific footage items or properties. 
Save time by searching timelines by layer names, properties, comments or expressions,  
effect names or parameters, and more. 
•  Independent XYZ position keyframes. Keyframe X-, Y-, and Z-position properties separately, 
greatly easing the crafting of complex animation moves in 3D space. 
•  Photoshop 3D layer support. Place 3D objects on layers in Photoshop (including the new Adobe 
Repoussé layers introduced in Photoshop CS5 Extended), paint them using its industry-standard 
tools, import them into After Effects, and animate them alongside your other 3D layers.
• Cartoon effect. Create new looks for your video or other animated imagery, instantly applying 
the appearance of cel animation or watercolor paintings to live action or to computer-generated 
3D imagery.
•  After Effects to Flash. Export After Effects compositions as layered projects which can be 
imported into Flash CS5 Professional.
