Adobe After Effects CS3 (FR) Mac Retail DV VAR 15510621 Data Sheet

Top features and benefits of After Effects CS3 Professional

Create high-impact communications by 

combining moving imagery, still images  
and graphics, text, and sound in 2D or 3D  
space and then animating virtually any aspect 
of each element.

unmatched Adobe integration
Enjoy a streamlined workflow with support  
for importing Adobe Photoshop images that 
include video layers as well as Adobe 
Illustrator graphics that maintain image 
integrity. Move easily between After Effects 
and Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 or Encore CS3 
software, and share animations easily with 

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional software.

Create text and vector graphics in After Effects 

using familiar Adobe tools, and then animate 
these elements to create visually innovative 
new motion graphics.

Manipulate moving and still images using 

hundreds of effects such as stylize, distort,  
and shatter. Create grids, radio waves, 3D 
particles, film grain, fractal noise, and more.

Start projects quickly with animation presets 
and behaviors when creating common 
animation elements, such as animating text  
in and out, creating synthetic backgrounds, 
and more. Use new Brainstorm to quickly 
experiment and refine designs using 
parameters you define. Learn fast with Tool 

Tips and training resources in the box and  

on the web, and streamline your review 
process with Adobe Clip Notes to create and 
import comments.

Comprehensive masking and keying tools
Control which portions of a layer are visible  

by importing, manipulating, and animating 
masks. Flexible auto-tracing options and 

RotoBezier masks make it easy to get precise 
results. Key bluescreen and greenscreen 
mattes with the Academy Award-winning 
Keylight and a host of supporting tools.

Animate graphics and text using the Puppet 

tool. Apply motion blur to produce more 
realistic animations, or use Timewarp to slow 
down and speed up footage. Precisely match 
the motion of source footage using Motion 

Tracker, and get the look of a locked-off shot 

using Motion Stabilizer.
