Non-Linear Editing

The ultimate tool for motion graphics and visual effects. Adobe After Effects 5 software offers extraordinary creative freedom and control for designing sophisticated motion graphics and visual effects for film, video, multimedia, and the Web. Its tight integration with Adobe Photoshop®, Illustrator®, and Premiere® gets you up and running fast and makes you more productive. We primarily reccommend the Production Bundle, with more advanced motion control and keying capabilities, plus additional 3D channel, audio, and visual effects.

When you import a layered Photoshop file as a composition, After Effects retains layers and other key Photoshop settings. Superior Adobe product integration - Photoshop Adobe® After Effects® 5.0 features the award-winning Adobe user interface, familiar to anyone who uses Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator®, or Adobe Premiere®. The tabbed windows - along with Adobe's popular tabbed palettes, similar tools, and common keyboard shortcuts - make it possible to work more efficiently and move among the programs with ease. After Effects, Premiere, and Adobe LiveMotionT use a similar time-based interface, so moving among the applications is a snap. Productivity-boosting features such the pen tool, Align palette, rulers and guides, editing tools, and free transform mode work in After Effects just as they do in other popular Adobe products. You can transform layered Photoshop /images into animations with complete ease. Import Photoshop files as compositions one at a time or in batches. After Effects preserves layers, common layer effects, adjustment layers, alpha channels, transfer modes, vector masks, and more. You can then apply visual effects to color-correct, stylize, or manipulate each layer, and animate these layers over time. Use Photoshop paths as mask or motion points. Move easily between Photoshop and After Effects to complete your work.
