Datasheet

Resolution independence
• Mix multiple le resolutions from small thumbnails up to 30,000x30,000-pixel frames.
Adobe Bridge
➤
Simplify the everyday tasks of asset management with Adobe Bridge, which oers
powerful ways to browse and search digital assets, preview and apply presets, work with
metadata, manage les, and run batch processes.
Post-render actions and Proxy creation
• Use post-render actions to streamline back-end production tasks, such as creating
proxies or replacing project footage with output from the Render Queue.
Convenient file management
• Use commands such as Find, Reveal, Reduce Project, and Collect Files to manage les
easily.
Flowchart view
• View a owchart of a composition or project to see how it’s organized and what footage,
layers, and eects are used.
Unmatched Adobe integration
Photoshop CS2 integration
➤
Save 32-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 16-bit color values in Photoshop les.
Text remains editable, and layers, common layer styles, blending modes, masks, and
transparency are all preserved when Photoshop les are imported as compositions.
Use Photoshop paths as masks or animation paths.
Photoshop layer style support
• Import common layer styles created in Photoshop—including Glow, Bevel, and Drop
Shadow eects—for rendering in Aer Eects layers.
Photoshop file creation
➤
Create a new Photoshop le from within your Aer Eects project. Photoshop
automatically opens a blank le using composition settings—including title-safe and
action-safe guides—ready for editing. Changes appear in Aer Eects when you save.
Illustrator CS2 integration
➤
Copy vectors from Illustrator to use as Aer Eects masks or motion paths. Illustrator
layers and blend modes are preserved, and vector shapes can be continuously rasterized
(and output as compact SWF les), preserving smooth edge detail.
Adobe Premiere® Pro 2.0 integration
➤
Preserve bins, edits, markers, keyframed eects, nested sequences, transitions, and
more. Drag and drop or copy and paste clips from one application to the other.
(Windows only.)
Adobe Premiere Pro project export
➤
Export an Aer Eects project as an Adobe Premiere Pro project, streamlining work
that involves editing as well as motion graphics and eects (Windows only).
Adobe Encore® DVD integration
• Create elements such as motion menus and interactive buttons for your DVDs. Export
AVI and MPEG-2 movies from Aer Eects with markers that Encore DVD reads as
chapters. (Windows only.)
Optimal performance
Real-time, high-fidelity OpenGL support
➤
Experience real-time performance with advanced OpenGL 2.0 capabilities including
support for blending modes as well as motion blur, anti-aliasing, track mattes, high-
quality shadows and transparency, and accelerated rendering of common eects. Use
OpenGL for accelerated nal renders.
