Adobe After Effects CS5
What’s New
• An enhanced Levels effect Histogram display
showing individual color channel strengths
• New options for specifying the size of Bezier
direction handles and vertices for masks and
shapes as well as direction handles for motion
paths, making them easier to see on today’s
larger monitors

• Tooltips added for each vertex in the Graph
Editor, which display the layer name, property
name, time, and value of the keyframe, making
it easier to precisely check values at a glance

Color Look-Up Table support
After Effects CS5 adds support for custom color look-up tables (LUTs) in the popular 3DL and
CUBE file formats, which may be loaded into the new Apply Color LUT effect. This makes it
possible, for example, to receive from a film output facility a custom LUT that reflects the specific
color correction they are performing on a project, and simulate within After Effects what the result
would look like on a specific piece of footage or final composite. You can also use this new feature
to predict how your images will look through an unusual output chain such as displaying through
a certain projector at a trade show or site-specific installation. In short, Color LUT support gives
you confidence that the creative and technical decisions you make will translate properly to
final output in an even wider variety of situations than before, and help ensure color consistency
across multiple devices.

Color management
In addition to providing new support
for LUTs, After Effects also offers

support on input, output, and for

The updated Histogram display makes it easier to visualize
and edit individual color channels. This display also makes
it possible to spot problems, such as where editing the
overall image may cause an individual channel to clip.
Support for custom color LUTs makes it possible to preview within After Effects the result of film output color correction
(top = original image; above = color-corrected image).
