After Effects CS4 Review
Adobe After Effects hasn't really gone through any major changes, but there are a few upgrades that might make it worth while.
As for Encore, you'll definitely want to upgrade if you need to keep up to date with all the new forms of media distribution.
Very nice. I am really happy about the new tracking tools.
the encore portion of the review on video died at about 2:13 in HD.
Oh, weird. I’ll re-render it when I get home tonight. I watched it before I converted to .flv and it was okay.
Great review guys, I agree, Mocha is definitely one of the best things about the upgrade.
As far as motion tracking goes, it’s MILES ahead of AE’s bundled in tracker. I had relatively little motion tracking experience, but with Mocha I was able to track things so easily and precisely, it was pretty amazing. The interface is outdated and kinda clunky, but maybe by CS5 they’ll integrate it fully into AE? Hope so
