Adobe Upgrade to Adobe® After Effects® Standard 6.5 12040133 User Manual

Powerful 3D effects

• Import camera data from Alias Maya and Discreet 3ds max and quickly composite new elements into a complex  

3D scene.

• Quickly arrange and animate 3D layers with the 3D Assistants Lite plug-ins from Digital Anarchy. Position 3D  

layers in cubes or tunnels, or distribute them in 3D space with ease.

• Manipulate auxiliary channel information in imported 3D files, including RLA, Softimage PIC/ZPIC, Electric Image 

EI/EIZ, and RPF files.

• Slice an image along the z axis and insert elements within 3D images with Depth Matte.

• Use Depth of Field to simulate a camera focusing on one element in a 3D scene and letting surrounding  

elements blur.

• Isolate elements in a 3D scene for color correction or other effects with ID Matte.

• Make distant elements in a 3D scene appear hazier or even disappear using Fog 3D.

• Make auxiliary channel information visible as either grayscale or multichannel color images with 3D  

Channel Extract.

• Easily create custom 3D elements and 3D text from 2D Illustrator files with the included Zaxwerks 3D Invigorator 

Classic plug-in. (This plug-in is not included in Education or volume licensing versions of After Effects 6.5 Professional.)

16-bit color support

• Achieve maximum quality for film and HDTV using the broader range of colors available in the 16-bit color mode.

• Rough out a composition in 8-bit color mode, and then finalize and output it to 16-bit color for optimal quality. 

Toggle between 8-bit and 16-bit color on-the-fly.

• Work with more than 90 effects that support 16-bit-per-channel color, including Alpha Levels, Blend, Bulge, Color 

Key, Colorama, Difference Matte, Glow, Luma Key, Radial Blur, and more.

AAF and OMF support

• Import timelines from Adobe Premiere Pro using the Advanced Authoring Format (AAF).

• Import and export Open Media Framework (OMF) media files to work with footage in Avid’s native file format.

Additional high-quality audio effects

• Add color and depth or make a single voice or instrument sound like many with Flange & Chorus.
