*Features

Searchable timelines and projects and easier nested comp navigation. NEW!
Locate any element in a comp or project with the new QuickSearch. Quickly 
navigate between nested comps with the new Mini-Flowchart.

Compositions exported as layered projects. NEW!
Export compositions as layered, XFL format projects that can be opened and 
edited in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional software. Many After Effects assets 
such as text and Adobe Illustrator artwork are preserved as vectors.

Integrated workflow for mobile device authoring. NEW!
Select devices in Adobe Device Central and automatically set up an After Effects 
project that targets those devices, with settings that match the targeted devices 
and the Render Queue setup to output to the proper codecs and resolutions.

Numerous interface and workflow tweaks. NEW!
Work more efficiently with dozens of user-requested changes, including the new 
Auto Resolution setting that only renders visible pixels when zooming in and out 
of a comp view, streamlined memory and multicore processing preferences, and more.

Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Soundbooth. NEW!
Using Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium software, now link Adobe Premiere 
Pro sequences to an After Effects composition and After Effects comps to Adobe 
Soundbooth with Adobe Dynamic Link.

Import of 3D layers from Photoshop. NEW!
Import 3D models from Adobe Photoshop CS4 into Adobe After Effects CS4 to 
composite them with other elements, and more. 

Independent keyframing of x, y, z values, plus 3D compositing improvements. NEW!
Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values 
separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes the After Effects 
camera tool work more like those in 3D modeling applications.

Cartoon effect. NEW!
Instantly give live footage the look of cell animation. Stylize video by 
reducing the color palette of a clip and by emphasizing edges.

Mocha for Adobe After Effects from Imagineer Systems. NEW!
Use this powerful 2.5D planar tracking application from Imagineer Systems to 
track the motion of elements — even in challenging shots where elements move 
offscreen or where there is motion blur or excessive grain.

XMP metadata for asset intelligence. NEW!
Now retain asset metadata while you work in After Effects. Add new project-, 
comp-, and layer-level metadata to streamline project tracking, and automate 
asset auditing and many other tasks.
