Features
-
After Effects CS3 is set-up like previous versions of the program. An "Import" window to organize files, a "Monitor" window to preview effects and a "Timeline" window to set-up effects and organize the project.
Function
-
The best use of the program is through "Key Frames." Key frames are set to animate different properties in a project. Key frames can be set to animate scales, rotations, opacity or special effects. The "Preview Controls" allow users to preview and render the key frames to see how the animation flows.
-
Benefits
-
The use of After Effects eliminates hours of work by animating the key frames and using preset effects instead of creating each frame at a time. The "Particle" effect allows users to create rain, fire and other objects in 3D.
Types
-
Different effects in the program include pre-made transitions like explode, fly away, waddle and spin. These effects can be applied to any type of media like photos, videos or objects created directly in the program like the 3D particles.
Considerations
-
After Effects CS3 is compatible with other Adobe files like Photoshop projects or Premiere compositions. The program is also compatible with saved projects from previous versions of After Effects like After Effects 7 or After Effects CS2.
