It's always been an incredibly versatile tool, thanks to a broad feature set, and of course the fact that vector graphics are infinitely scaleable and in most cases relatively lightweight. Luckily for those artists (and Adobe), After Effects CS6 will do nothing to tarnish its status and appeal.Īdobe Illustrator is the industry standard tool for vector drawing and illustration, used by a wide variety of creative professionals including editorial illustrators, identity designers, textile and pattern designers, UI designers, motion artists and many others.
With the release of the latest version, part of their major CS6 update, Adobe is working very hard to make sure their clientele stays put.Īdobe After Effects has a huge user base in the motion graphics and animation sectors, so any update to the power of this venerable compositing workhorse will be eagerly scrutinised by those working in broadcast and cross-media applications. Those who fell into the latter category started to shop around, and Adobe was only too pleased to welcome new clients to their platform.
When Apple released Final Cut Pro X last year, many veterans were up in arms as it wasn't just an update to the program they'd come to know, love and rely on, it was a complete departure from what they were used to. In fact, those looking for big splashy show-off features will also be looking in vain. Those looking for the much-heralded Deblur filter, however, will be disappointed: it's far too early for inclusion this time around.

See the Terms and Conditions for more details. The sharing or online posting of project files with or for anyone other than a client is prohibited. The Creation Art Effects template contains copyrighted intellectual property. This template is compatible with version CS5 as well as all later versions of After Effects. Rather, it's an Adobe After Effects project file, commonly known as a "template" because the work is already done and the user needs only to make their own adjustments. The Creation Art Effects template is not a plugin, so there is nothing to install. Please allow yourself plenty of time when downloading. Music and footage placeholders in preview video are not included.Because of the complexity of the effects, many of them can take a significant amount of time to render (especially the 4K versions) and are not intended for long videos. Follow the suggestions on the Render Tips Page to improve the speed of this template.You can change the frame rate in the "Composition Settings" panel, or if you like the look of a reduced frame rate, but need to export at a higher rate like 29.97fps or 25fps, create a new comp with the higher frame rate, and place the art effect comp into that one. The reduced frame rate also speeds up render times considerably. The art effect comps in this template are 10 frames per second, giving them the choppy stop-motion look seen in the demo video.
There is now an optional "Timewarp" effect on all dynamic textures to give you a smoother, less jittery animation.
