FEATURES

 e essential tool for motion graphics

and visual e ects

Product overview

Adobe A er E ects 6.5 so ware delivers the speed, precision, and power you

need to produce visually innovative motion graphics and e ects for  lm, video,

DVD, and the Web.

Work faster, work smarter

Impressive performance gains

OpenGL support

• Be more productive with performance optimizations such as OpenGL support for extremely  uid

interactive compositing.

RAM preview

• Preview compositions in real time and bene t from OpenGL support, intelligent caching, dynamic

previews, and the ability to de ne a region of interest for faster and longer RAM previews.

Disk caching

• Take advantage of disk caching to speed up your interactive work.

Windows® and Mac OS optimization

• Take advantage of better performance using the latest Intel® Pentium® based Windows hardware and

PowerPC® G5 based Macintosh hardware.

Unmatched Adobe integration

Adobe Photoshop® CS integration

• Import Photoshop  les as compositions, preserving layers, common layer e ects, transfer modes, vector

masks, 16-bit-per-channel color, text editability, and more.

Adobe Illustrator® CS integration

• Import Illustrator  les as resolution-independent compositions with layers, transfer modes, and

transparency intact. Apply e ects directly to continuously rasterized layers.

Adobe Premiere® Pro integration

• Import Adobe Premiere Pro projects as compositions with clips arranged on layers and with edits,

markers, cross-dissolves, opacity, motion keyframes, and more preserved (Windows only).

FEATURES �� e essential tool for motion graphics and visual effects Product overview Adobe Aer Effects 6.5 soware delivers the speed, precision, and power you need to produce visually innovative motion graphics and effects for film, video, DVD, and the Web. Work faster, work smarter Impressive performance gains OpenGL support • Be more productive with performance optimizations such as OpenGL support for extremely fluid interactive compositing.
PAGE 2
Adobe Encore™ DVD integration • Easily add motion to static Adobe Encore menu designs in Aer Effects, save Aer Effects compositions as layered Photoshop files to use as menus in Adobe Encore, and designate subcompositions as buttons (Windows only). Paths imported as masks • Turn any Illustrator or Photoshop path into a mask or motion path for use on any layer.
PAGE 3
Be visually innovative 2D and 3D compositing environment Flexible compositing • Work in 2D and 3D compositing modes, and mix 2D and 3D layers in a composition. Cameras and lights for 3D compositions • Create and animate multiple cameras and lights. Specify a point of interest, produce so shadows, and simulate different types of lights. Multiple 2D and 3D views • See how layers interact in space and manipulate a composition from multiple perspectives using multiple views.
PAGE 4
Motion Sketch and Smoother • Quickly create an animation path and set its velocity with Motion Sketch. en fine-tune the shape and speed of the path with the Smoother. Extensive visual effects Comprehensive effects toolkit • Turn your creative ideas into visually compelling and innovative compositions. Work with and animate more than 150 plug-ins to produce a limitless range of video and audio effects.
PAGE 5
Meet production challenges Integrated vector paint tools Nondestructive vector painting • Paint nondestructively on layers to clean up footage, draw masks, and create animations based on Photoshop technology. Easily remove unwanted elements with cloning. Photoshop style brushes • Work with a Brush tool and Brush Tips palette similar to the ones in Photoshop. Customize brushes to control size, spacing, and angle, and save them for ongoing use.
PAGE 6
Color Finesse™ • Perform high-end telecine-style color corrections within Aer Effects using Color Finesse from Synthetic Aperture. Shadows/Highlights effect • Automate color correction over time while preserving the shadows and highlights within the frames using the new Photoshop style Shadows/Highlights effect. Automatic adjustments • Enhance the contrast of footage over time with the new Photoshop style Auto Color, Auto Contrast, and Auto Levels controls.
PAGE 7
Pulldown modes • Translate files smoothly between film and video using the 3:2 Pulldown option. Choose the 24Pa Pulldown option for 24-frame progressive DV cameras. Professional results Extensive support for industry-standard formats • Import and output files in QuickTime, AVI, MPEG-2, Windows Media™ 9, RealMedia, native Photoshop (PSD), Macromedia® Flash™ (SWF), Cineon, SGI, TIFF, TGA, Maya IFF, JPEG, ElectricImage, Filmstrip, PDF, or WAV and AIFF formats.
PAGE 8
Matte Choker • Create a more natural edge between a person or object and the background image using the Matte Choker. Difference Matte, Extract, and Linear Color Key • Use Difference Matte, Extract, and the Linear Color Key to create clean, natural-looking composites by setting key criteria and then generating a range of transparency values based on how closely each pixel matches the criteria.
PAGE 9
Powerful 3D effects Camera data • Import camera data from Alias Maya and Discreet 3ds max and quickly composite new elements into a complex 3D scene. 3D Assistants Lite keyframe assistants • Quickly arrange and animate 3D layers with the 3D Assistants Lite plug-ins from Digital Anarchy. Position 3D layers in cubes or tunnels, or distribute them in 3D space with ease.

High-Low Pass • Remove high and low frequencies to enhance a sound, create special effects, or protect audio equipment with High-Low Pass. Modulator • Exercise precise control over audio delay and modulation by creating a variety of echo and chorus effects. Parametric EQ • Isolate specific frequency ranges for fine-tuning using Parametric EQ. Reverb • Simulate a spacious and acoustically live interior using Reverb.
