Quickly find, visualize, and navigate to the parts of a project you want to refine. Expand your 3D compositing options by importing 3D layers created in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, and composite in 3D with more precision thanks to separate X-, Y-, and Z-position keyframes.
Create the look of cel animation from live footage with the new Cartoon effect.

Version: Adobe After Effects CS4

Version: Adobe After Effects CS4
"Great product, a little high in price"
Pros: So many possibilities
Great interface layout
Quick workflow
So many effects and presetsCons: The program is a little hard to figure out on your own. A college class may be a good thing to sign up for.
If you ask me, the price is a little too high. I really think it should be around $700, $800 at mostSummary: Bottom line, it's an outstanding program and you can do quite a bit with it. Your limit is mostly your imagination. For those who are looking to produce videos and do 2.5D work, this program is worth the price.
