Adobe After Effects CS6 is a professional editor for producing motion graphics and visual effects for film, video, the web, and mobile devices.

Benefits for Organizations

If you have video-editing experience, you can use the tools in After Effects to add 2D and 3D graphics, titles, transitions, and other visual effects to video projects.

64-Bit Only

After Effects CS6 requires a 64-bit operating system. Native 64-bit support gives After Effects access to more RAM than 32-bit systems do and increases efficiency in working on complex projects.

Major Capabilities

• Compositing and animation: You can combine and manipulate images, text, and video, using hundreds of effects to stylize, distort, generate new elements, and more.
• Visual and audio adjustments: Postproduction tools include color keying, motion tracking, color correction, and rotoscoping. After Effects also includes over 32 audio effects for mixing, equalizing, adding echo and reverberation, modulation, and more.
• 3D Camera Tracker: The 3D compositing features allow you to keyframe x, y, and z position values separately and use a unified camera tool that works similarly to those in 3D modeling applications.
• Multiple file format support: The software supports a variety of file formats, including QuickTime, FLV and SWF, AVI, MPEG-2, Windows Media, native Photoshop (PSD), Camera Raw, OpenEXR, ProEXR, Cineon, SGI, TIFF, TGA, Maya IFF, JPEG, PDF, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Panasonic P2, Sony XDCAM EX and HD, AVC-Intra 50 and 100, and multichannel DPX.
