Adobe After Effects trial CS4 comes to users as a functional and simple-to-use software which is loaded with new features and other changes that will make every working session more productive. Quickly find, visualize, and navigate to the parts of a project you want to refine.

Major Features:

1. Expand your 3D compositing options by importing 3D layers created in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, and composite in 3D with more precision thanks to separate X-, Y-, and Z-position keyframes.
2. Create the look of cel animation from live footage with the new Cartoon effect.
3. Track even the most challenging shots with 2.5D planar motion tracking in Imagineer Systems' Mocha for Adobe After Effects, which is now included.
4. Export After Effects compositions as editable layered projects to open inside Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software. Whether you're working in broadcast and film or delivering work online or to emerging devices, it's easier than ever to transform creative ideas into reality with After Effects CS4.

Major Features:

1. Eye Candy's formerly stationary filters are set in motion in Eye Candy for After Effects, with new parameters which give users precise control over the effects' time and direction-based aspects. Now, bevels, glows and other complex, organic effects can mutate and snake around your footage with a few mouse clicks.
2. Superb simulations of natural phenomena include Fire, Smoke and Fur: Eye Candy for After Effects creates simulations of natural phenomena that are more fluid and beautiful than ever, not to mention easier than you ever imagined. Fire and Smoke render a wide range of lapping flames and billowing smoke with a few mouse clicks on simple controls. Fur is able to simulate anything from porcupine quills to waves of grain. Glass can create watery surfaces, layers of ice and shower doors, and Chrome's effects range from cool metallic gradients to wood surfaces. The wide range of dazzling possibilities in Eye Candy for After Effects will add fuel your creative fires.
3. Effects Adapt To and Modify Layer Transparency: Eye Candy takes full advantage of After Effects' advanced features; effects are able to rely on After Effects' alpha channel support to intuitively apply themselves according to layer opacity information. This means that you can draw outside layer boundaries without precomposing, and that the effects can be used with odd-shaped or shifting objects. The effects can even modify opacity information, allowing you to ignite a logo, for example, and still see through the semi-transparent smoke and flames.
4. Apply Effects Using Alpha Channels From Different--Even Invisible!--Layers: Added an Alpha Layer tool in Eye Candy for After Effects that allows users to apply effects in one layer based on another layer's alpha channel, even if the second layer is invisible. This means, for example, that if you have a text layer and a background layer, you can apply Carve to the background layer using the text layer's alpha channel, creating animated chiseled text on your background. In addition, the new Alpha Origin tool easily adjusts or offsets the Alpha Layer's position to your specifications.
5. Free, unlimited "Render Only" installations: A customer who wishes to use After Effects network render farms may install the full version of Eye Candy for After Effects on an unlimited number of "render only" machines for no charge.

Requirements:

• Intel or PowerPC processor.
• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later.
• Adobe After Effects 7 or later.

Allotment 1.0 is created to be a great picture font including high quality, hand drawn illustrations creating clean outlines with a minimum of vector points. This spring vendor was finally allocated a small allotment in the London Docklands after being on a waiting list for over five years! Since then had great fun growing, harvesting and eating the home-grown potatoes, strawberries, onions, squashes and broad beans.

They also got inspired by the vegetables, weeds, tools, sheds and bird houses to create this picture font.
