frequently asked questions
- What's new in After Effects CS5?
- In addition to native 64-bit operating system support (which delivers better performance) and a revolutionary new approach to rotoscoping with the Roto Brush, After Effects CS5 offers many new features and enhancements. Find out more about the features in After Effects CS5, and visit Community Help for a comprehensive list of new features.
- Does After Effects still support 32-bit operating systems?
- No, because the performance benefits of native 64-bit support make it the best choice for the demanding technical requirements of working with video, particularly HD and higher resolution content. Offering only 64-bit support enables Adobe to optimize performance even further. If you buy a Windows® version of Creative Suite 5 Master Collection or CS5 Production Premium and do not yet have a 64-bit operating system installed, After Effects CS4 for Windows is included so you can use it until you upgrade. (Note that After Effects CS5 and Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5 are the only CS5 components that require a 64-bit operating system.)
