The Expression Editor itself gets a further workflow upate, including smarter scrolling and autocomplete. ![]() Other changes include the option to use expressions to access text style properties, making it possible to change fonts in sync across multiple layers in a composition, or save the set-ups as presets. Other changes: expressions, motion graphics templates and automated driver checks ![]() In addition, After Effects now natively supports Cryptomatte, Psyop’s industry-standard ID matte generation system, also integrated into Nuke, Flame and most production renderers. It is also now possible to import multi-channel EXRs directly as layered compositions, rather than having to assemble the layers manually. There is also a new contextual menu for (un)grouping shapes, and new time delay options in the Repeater.įaster EXR import, plus support for CryptomatteĮXR workflow has also been overhauled, with multi-channel EXR files like the one shown in the image above now loading “up to 10-12 times faster”. The former, a version of Photoshop’s similarly named object removal toolset adapted for use on video, and introduced in After Effects CC 16.1 this April, is now “twice as fast and uses half as much memory”.Īdobe doesn’t put a figure on the speed boost when working with shape layers, although it says that snapping should be particularly improved. Users can now interact with the software – at least in simple ways, like moving around within menus – without causing playback to freeze or stutter.įaster Content-Aware Fill and shape layer workflowsĪdobe also singles out two specific toolsets that should work faster: Content-Aware Fill and Shape Layers. The latter uses a combination of graphics APIs, including Nvidia’s CUDA, Apple’s Metal and the open standard OpenCL, so it should work with any manufacturer’s hardware. One of the most significant is “more fluid” playback of cached previews, made possible by a combination of “CPU threading improvements and a new GPU architecture” for drawing output to the screen. In its press briefing, Adobe described its main goal with the release as “to make After Effects faster”, and accordingly, most of the changes in 17.0 are speed boosts for existing features. ![]() More fluid cached previews via new cross-platform GPU architecture The update was announced at Adobe MAX 2019, along with Character Animator 3.0, Dimension 3.0, Photoshop 21.0, Premiere Pro 14.0, plus new iOS AR authoring app Aero and Photoshop for iPad. Posted by Jim Thacker Adobe ships After Effects 17.0Īdobe has unveiled After Effects CC 17.0, the latest update to its compositing software, improving playback of cached previews, adding Cryptomatte support, and making it possible to import layered EXR files.
