User Manual

Audio effects
• Remap audio over time with the Delay and Backwards audio eects. Adjust audio tone
with Bass & Treble.
Stereo Mixer
• Pan from the le speaker or channel to the right speaker or channel, or vice versa, with
the Stereo Mixer.
Advanced audio effects
➤
Use Modulator, Parametric EQ, and High-Low Pass for precise professional control over
32-bit audio. Delay, Flange & Chorus, and tone generation allow you to stylize sound or
generate sounds from scratch. (Professional edition only.)
Audio Spectrum and Audio Waveform effects
• Generate full-color visuals based on audio elements that animate dynamically along a
frequency spectrum or that behave like an audio waveform.
Superior output
Render Queue
• Use the powerful Render Queue to simultaneously render at multiple resolutions and
le formats or to batch render les. Also create templates to apply common render and
output settings.
OpenGL rendering
➤
Use OpenGL for nal rendering at high speed: OpenGL 2.0 capabilities include
common blending modes, motion blur on 2D layers, anti-aliasing and track mattes,
better shadows and transparencies, and more.
Network rendering
• Divide each render—and the time it requires—over networked machines using a special
Render Engine version of Aer Eects, with no limit on the permitted number of
computers. See product license agreement for details. (Professional edition only.)
Grid rendering
• Speed output by using other networked computers to render your compositions, thanks
to Gridiron X-Factor (Professional edition only).
Advanced 3D Renderer
• Render 3D compositions—even those that include intersecting layers—at the highest
possible quality.
Flexible frame rates and resolutions
• Specify output frame rates and resolutions (up to 30,000x30,000 pixels) to meet all
international lm and broadcast standards, including Cineon, HDTV, HDV, and more.
Render automation
• Use scripting to automate a render pipeline (with an unlimited number of nodes) and to
integrate with third-party render management soware (Professional edition only).
Pixel Aspect Ratios
• Compensate for non-square pixels in DV, 601, HD, HDV, and other video formats using
the Pixel Aspect Ratio settings.
Pulldown modes
• Translate les smoothly between lm and video using the 3:2 Pulldown option. Choose
the 24PA Pulldown option for 24-frame progressive DV cameras.
Field rendering
• Control eld-rendering order for jitter-free playback on PAL and NTSC video systems.
FireWire video output
• Preview your compositions on NTSC and PAL video monitors whether you’re using a
Windows or a Mac OS X system.
