Production excellence

Superior output and extensive file format support

Produce professional output for film, video, DVD, and the web in virtually every output format imaginable with the Render Queue. Simultaneously perform multiple renderings of a composition to different formats, and batch render files for greater efficiency.

Powerful masking tools

Easily design, edit, and work with masks using flexible auto-tracing options and RotoBézier masks.

Graph Editor

Create precise animations with the new Graph Editor, which offers complete visual control over keyframe editing and easy synchronization of animated properties across layers.

Professional color correction

Adjust the color of footage and other layer elements using color-correction tools similar to those in Adobe Photoshop® software, as well as Color Finesse™ for high-end corrections.

Highest quality keying and matte tools

Key bluescreen and greenscreen mattes that rival those created in any other toolset with the Academy Award-winning Keylight (Professional edition only) and a host of supporting tools.

Intelligent workflow

Unmatched Adobe integration

Experience an efficient Adobe workflow: Import Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator® files with attributes preserved, and, in Windows®, import Adobe Premiere® Pro projects, add motion to static Adobe Encore® DVD software menus, export After Effects projects as Adobe Premiere Pro projects, and more.

Optimal performance

Preview and render compositions in real time with accelerated OpenGL support as well as intelligent RAM previewing and disk caching.

Redesigned, unified user interface

Work within an elegantly redesigned interface featuring workspace panels that dock and group for optimal organization, eliminating overlapping windows. Save custom workspaces, control UI brightness, and more.

Adobe Bridge

Simplify the everyday tasks of asset management with Adobe Bridge, which offers powerful ways to browse and search digital assets, preview and apply presets, work with metadata, manage files, and run batch processes.

Media management and post-render options

Easily work cross-platform with full resolution independence, and use post-render actions to streamline back-end production tasks.

Creative empowerment

Flexible 2D and 3D compositing

Composite and animate in 2D or 3D space using multiple cameras, lights, and intersecting layers.

Expert visual effects

Create attention-getting effects using a broad range of plug-ins to blur; correct color; distort layers; simulate clouds, smoke, and other phenomena; and much more.

Unrivaled text animation and titling effects

Create animated text with unprecedented ease. Use the standard Adobe Text tool, or edit and animate text from Photoshop; instantly apply text Animation Presets; and much more.

Timesaving Animation and Behavior Presets plus project templates

Produce great-looking animations quickly using hundreds of fully customizable Animation Presets, including presets for animating text, effects, transitions, backgrounds, and behaviors. Use included project templates for DVD motion menus and motion graphics backgrounds.

Nondestructive vector painting

Paint nondestructively on layers to clean up footage, draw masks, clone elements, and create animations.
