Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium
What’s New
In a 2D scene, you can apply a separate layer as a grayscale map to create depth-of-field effects, or
apply the effect without a map to defocus the entire scene equally. You can create rack focus
effects by adjusting the focal distance setting, converting whichever channel values you specify to
grayscale values that correspond to depth. You can use such a map to simulate other types of
shallow focus, such as that of a tilt-shift lens.

You can transfer script metadata, such as scene
location, character names, and dialogue to a clip’s
XMP metadata in Adobe Premiere Pro. In the
Project panel in Adobe Premiere Pro, enter scene
numbers for clips that match scene numbers in the
story script, and batch-transfer this data to the clip
at the click of a button. This helps eliminate hours
of routine work by enabling you to effortlessly
locate all takes of a specific shot, or search
dialogue, scene locations, and character names.

Because scripts are embedded as metadata and
preserved throughout a project, you can take
advantage of the metadata from production all
the way to delivery. When you deliver a project as
a web DVD using Adobe Encore, the script metadata makes the web DVD content searchable.

Light Falloff property in After Effects
In the real world, light intensity diminishes naturally the further objects are from the light source.
After Effects now gives you the controls you need to simulate natural illumination falloff in a 3D
scene—or create other light intensity effects, if so desired. Choose the Inverse-Square falloff
setting to re-create the real-world decay of light over distance, in which light intensity naturally falls
off by the square of the inverse distance. The smooth falloff setting lets you specify the exact
distance over which light levels decay. With either setting, you can determine at what distance (in
pixels) light falloff starts and ends. The same four basic choices of light type previously offered in
After Effects—Parallel, Spot, Point, and Ambient—all remain, with each type (except Ambient,

determined by the focus distance and
aperture settings, like an actual lens.
