What’s New
Smoother camera moves with Warp Stabilizer
The new Warp Stabilizer in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 provides a solution to handheld camera
shake that typically requires hardware such as a Steadicam. With increasingly diverse video
recording devices—from mobile phones to sports helmet cameras and digital SLRs—it isn’t always
practical or affordable to use a professional camera stabilizer. While image stabilization tools can
be found in other video production software, they typically correct camera position only, betraying
the fact that the footage was originally handheld.
Going beyond stabilizing just camera position, Warp Stabilizer uses advanced pixel analysis to also
correct camera rotation, rolling shutter artifacts, and parallax effects. The resulting footage can
appear as steady and smooth as if shot with a camera mounted on a mechanical stabilizer.
Warp Stabilizer is full of refinements that give you granular control of the process—all without
keyframes. For example, the Subspace Warp option deforms areas of the frame separately to
compensate for parallax shift. You can raise or lower the default amount of smoothness, which
changes scaling and cropping behaviors. You can also control how frame edges are resolved by
setting a threshold for automatically cropping the frame or by intelligently filling empty spaces
using information in adjacent frames.
The ability to adjust all these variables makes Warp Stabilizer a powerful tool for getting exactly the
stability correction you need, from within After Effects CS5.5.

Performance boost with the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine
Work faster, thanks to enhancements in the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere
Pro CS5.5. Edit video using newly certified laptop GPUs, get real-time playback of mixed-format
timelines, and use more GPU-accelerated effects.
New laptop certification. The Adobe Mercury Playback Engine now supports additional NVIDIA
graphics cards—including cards for laptops—so you can enjoy high-performance, real-time editing
on set and on location.
Smooth playback of mixed formats. With GPU-accelerated effects you can compensate for
differences in frame rate, field order, and pixel aspect ratio, as well as media with varying types of
alpha channels.
Fast filtering and effects. GPU-accelerated effects and transitions include faster Additive Dissolve,
where you can combine color information between clips without edge and halo artifacts. You can
see Fast Blur and Directional Blur effects in real time and eliminate unwanted interlacing artifacts
with control over field order, flicker removal, and more.
