What’s New
Variable Mask Feathering
With Variable Mask Feathering, you can work precisely and create the exact shape you want with
the proper degree of softness at the edges, yielding more realistic composites as well as opening
creative possibilities.
the proper degree of softness at the edges, yielding more realistic composites as well as opening
creative possibilities.
After Effects has long had the ability to add a “feathered” soft edge to masked shapes, but in previous
versions the width of the feather was the same around the entire mask. After Effects CS6 contains
a new Mask Feather tool that lets you define a virtually infinite number of points along a closed
mask, and define the width of the feather at each of these points. This means some sections such as
hard metallic edges can remain sharp, while other sections that are out of focus or otherwise
blurred may have a softer outline. These points are not tied to the underlying mask vertices, which
makes After Effects more flexible than other systems that allow the feather to be defined only on a
per-vertex basis. Two different feather falloff options—Smooth and Linear—are also available.

Variable Mask Feathering makes it possible to create more nuanced transparency with fewer masks.
Tight integration with Adobe Illustrator CS6
Adobe Illustrator software has long been a favorite for creating complex text layouts, logos, and
other graphical elements. After Effects CS6 has a Create Shapes From Vector Layer command to
convert any Illustrator vector-based artwork—including AI and EPS files—into After Effects shape
layers. As a result, you can make changes as simple as tweaking the fill and stroke color or as
complex as editing the shape’s individual vertices without leaving After Effects. You can also apply
shape operators inside After Effects, including the self-animating Wiggle Paths and Wiggle
Transform operators.
