Adobe After Effects CS5 
What’s New
AVC-Intra support and expanded RED camera support
After Effects CS5 includes native support for 
the new AVC-Intra 50 and AVC-Intra 100 
codecs, as well as expanded native support 
for footage from RED cameras.
AVC-Intra is used by high-quality Panasonic 
cameras like the AJ-HPX300, AJ-HPX3700 
VariCam, and AJ-HPX2700 VariCam, as well 
as recorders like the AJ-HPM110. According 
to Panasonic documents, AVC-Intra 100 is 
the highest recording quality available in a 
one-piece camcorder—comparable to 
mastering video quality—and is explicitly 
designed and optimized for broadcast and 
production. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 also 
supports AVC-Intra, so there’s no barrier to 
integrating After Effects with Adobe Premiere 
Pro projects if you want to use AVC-Intra.
After Effects CS5, like Adobe Premiere Pro 
CS5, provides full native support for RED R3D 
files, allowing you to import them directly 
without transcoding, rewrapping, or installing 
additional software. Because the files you 
import contain raw sensor data, you edit 
footage that is as close to what the camera 
captured as possible, enabling you to work 
nondestructively on the color and look of 
your projects. This includes the ability to edit 
enhanced parameters such as Debayer 
Detail, Chroma Denoise, White Balance, ISO 
settings, and more. 
With After Effects CS5, you can work with 
content in all common RED R3D file 
permutations, including 2K, 3K, 4K, 4K HD, 
16x9, and 2x1, using a number of different 
frame rates. 
Auto-keyframe mode
After Effects has long featured powerful, flexible keyframing. However, artists new to After Effects 
have expressed a wish for an automatic way to begin keyframing their animations. 
To assist these artists, After Effects CS5 offers an Auto-keyframe mode. When Auto-keyframe  
mode is on, modifying a property automatically turns its stopwatch on and adds a keyframe at  
the current time. This prevents you from working with a layer’s properties only to realize later  
that After Effects did not capture any of your changes. Parameters that can be automatically 
keyframed include position, rotation, shape properties, mask properties, effect point controls,  
and camera manipulation. 
Auto-keyframe mode simplifies the keyframing process, and can help beginners avoid mistakes such as forgetting to enable 
keyframing for certain properties.
Multi-channel DPX
After Effects CS5 also supports 
multi-channel DPX files, such as 
those generated by the Northlight 
film scanner. DPX has rapidly 
become the preferred file format 
of the visual effects community in 
high-end production workflows.
