Just Amazing January 11, 2007

Adobe After Effects 7 is the program to have if you want to create effects for film and video. In short, this program is amazing.
As the manager of the Seattle Flash User group, several times people have asked me what is "After Effects?" My response is: any of the effects in animation that you generally see in commercials, movie intros, or a Ken Burns special; chances are it was done in After Effects.
Now speaking from a Flash Designer perspective this is really exciting because with Flash 8 you can now effortlessly import video to your animations. This means blue screen effects, special effects, and text animations all done in After Effects. After Effects then easily exports .swf, .fla and all the major video and audio formats.
Adobe After Effects has a lot of canned text effects and they make it very simple to import them as a .swf file. Just keep the stage and frame rate the same as your Flash settings and amazing text animations are done in minutes.
I mentioned the blue screen effect. You can now place a live actor in front of a cartoon background just like Disney did in his Alice cartoons. This is possible because you can export them with the alpha channel.
A major difference between version 6.5 and 7 is in the interface itself. This is always a touchy area to change with veteran users of the program, but this time it makes sense. Now you have the pallet running across the top of the program like so many of the Macromedia products did. It has several preprogrammed desktop workspaces accessible from a drop down box and it is very easy to create and save your own configuration if you do not like any of the presets. Also, the whole interface scales together making it easy to drag open the one you are working in if you need more space and all the other pallets automatically adjust accordingly. This is a feature you really need to see to believe.
Ever work in a 3D program and you view your project from several angels all at once (the top, right side, left side, bottom)? Now you can do it in After Effects. A cool new feature to version 7.
What if your project has Photoshop CS2 images and you realize you want to make a change. No problem. You can now open Photoshop CS2 within After Effects. Open your .psd, make your changes, save it and your back to After Effects. It also features enhanced integration with Premier Pro 2.
After Effects is a very advance program with a steep learning curve, but Adobe does make is easy to jump right in and with a little knowledge you will be producing some impressive work.
