Adobe After Effects CS4 Upgrade (Mac)

Create compelling motion graphics and blockbuster visual effects with flexible tools that deliver unparalleled creative power, or jump-start projects using creative building blocks. Save time with efficient tools, and benefit from tight integration with Adobe’s leading design applications. Whether you’re working in broadcast and film or delivering work online or to emerging devices, Adobe® After Effects® CS4 software is a must-have tool.

Searchable timelines and projects and easier nested comp navigation
Locate any element in a comp or project with the new QuickSearch. Quickly navigate between nested comps with the new Mini-Flowchart.

Live Adobe Photoshop® 3D layers import
Import 3D layers into After Effects, move them, animate cameras around them, adjust lighting, and composite them with other elements.

Cartoon effect
Instantly give live footage the look of cell animation. Stylize video by reducing the color palette of a clip and by emphasizing edges.

Keyframe x, y, z values independently, plus 3D compositing improvements
Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes the After Effects camera tool work more like those in 3D modeling applications.

Export compositions as a layered project for Adobe Flash® Professional
Export compositions as layered, XFL format projects that can be opened and edited in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software. Many After Effects assets such as text and Adobe Illustrator® artwork are preserved as vectors.

Mocha for Adobe After Effects from Imagineer Systems
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.

Integrated workflow for mobile device authoring
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.

XMP metadata for asset intelligence
Now retain asset metadata while you work in After Effects. Add new project-, comp-, and layer-level metadata to streamline project tracking, and automate asset auditing and many other tasks.

Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere® Pro, After Effects, and Soundbooth®
Using Adobe Creative Suite® 4 Production Premium software, now link Adobe Premiere Pro sequences to an After Effects composition and After Effects comps to Soundbooth with Adobe Dynamic Link.
