Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.2

Take your inspiration to new heights with innovative new features like Shape Layers, the Puppet tool, Brainstorm, and Adobe Clip Notes - all while enjoying an uninterrupted, streamlined workflow. Jump-start projects with hundreds of customizable animation presets and templates, or start from scratch and move efficiently between After Effects and other key applications like Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Adobe Encore CS3.

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. 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 Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and After Effects 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.

Major Features:

1. Take full advantage of metadata at every level of your project Time-saver. Retain asset metadata while you work in Adobe® After Effects®. Add new project-, comp-, and layer-level metadata to streamline project tracking, and automate asset auditing and many other tasks.
2. More easily track the motion of elements with Mocha for Adobe After Effects Time-saver. Use this powerful 2.5D planar tracking application from Imagineer Systems to track the motion of elements — even in challenging shots where elements move offscreen or where there is motion blur or excessive grain.
3. Discover more flexibility and control in 3D modeling Time-saver. Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes cameras in After Effects work more like those in 3D modeling applications.
4. Smooth your workflow in dozens of ways Time-saver. Work more efficiently thanks to numerous improvements suggested by After Effects users. These include the Auto Resolution setting that renders only visible pixels when zooming in a comp view, streamlined memory and multicore processing preferences, longer layer names, and more.
5. Set up projects automatically for mobile device authoring Time-saver. Select devices in Adobe Device Central and automatically set up an After Effects project that targets those devices, with settings that match the targeted devices and the Render Queue setup to output to the proper codecs and resolutions.
