Graph Editor
Value and Speed graphs
 Edit Value and Speed graphs in the Graph Editor, or let After Effects choose the one 
most appropriate for the animated property.
Value graphs for spatial properties
 See spatial properties such as Position represented with Value graphs on individual 
channels, each with a unique color.
Selected properties display
 Choose one or all of three display modes for comparing animation curves: all selected 
properties, all animated properties of a selected layer, or a Graph Editor Set containing 
marked properties only.
One-button eases
 Add eases in and out of curves with a single click.
Free transform
 Scale and offset keyframes in the Graph Editor with free-transform features, just as you 
would scale or offset vertices on a mask.
Snapping keyframes
 Snap keyframes to points of interest as you drag them horizontally or vertically around 
the Graph Editor.
Scalable view
 Freely zoom and pan around the Graph Editor with the Zoom tool, Hand tool, or your 
mouse scroll wheel, using modifier keys for additional controls. Automatically fit all 
graphs to the current view with a single click.
32-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 16-bit color support
32-bit floating-point pipeline
 Freely push values above full white and recover detail at any stage of the pipeline, so you 
can access the full range of color visible with the naked eye (Professional edition only).
Support for HDR image formats
 Import and export HDR color images in Adobe Photoshop®, OpenEXR, and TIFF 
formats to preserve the full dynamic range of all footage (Professional edition only).
Quality 16-bit results
• Produce work that is film- and HDTV-ready using the broader range of colors available 
in the 16-bit color mode (Professional edition only).
Flexible color modes
• Rough out a composition in 8-bit color mode, and then finalize and output it to 16-bit 
or 32-bit color for optimal quality. Toggle between 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit color on-the-
fly. (Professional edition only.)
