What's New
Version 11.0.1:
New:
- The Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 (a new Kepler-class GPU) can now be used for GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer on Windows. See this page for details of GPU features in After Effects CS6. Note: An additional delay (approximately one minute) will occur the first time that you start After Effects with a Kepler-class GPU as the new ray-traced 3D library is initialized. Installation of updated display drivers may require this initialization step again.
- Enabled basic support for the AtomKraft composition renderer (requires plug-ins from Jupiter Jazz).
- Several bugs with the global performance cache were fixed, which were causing the cache to not be invalidated at some times when it should have been. This meant that sometimes old, invalid image information was being read from the cache and used instead of re-rendering when an aspect of the composition had changed.
If you encounter a remaining bug of this sort, purging the cache will generally fix the problem (choosing Edit > Purge > All Image Memory to clear RAM cache and Empty Disk Cache in Media & Disk Cache preferences to clear disk cache). If you encounter such a bug after installing this update, let us know by submitting a detailed bug report, being especially certain to list any third-party effects used.
One remaining known issue of this sort relates to font substitution: If you load a project with a missing font, After Effects will substitute a placeholder font. If you then install the missing font, After Effects may not update cached image information with the new font. So, if you install a font after loading a project for which that font was reported as missing, purge the cache to force the cached image information to be updated with the new font.
- Effects that use the composition camera (e.g., Shatter) did not render correctly in orthogonal and custom views, or when changing the active camera.
- After Effects would crash when evaluating some expressions, including expressions added by the Ease & Wizz script, expressions using the this keyword, in-line functions, and nested functions.
- After Effects was returning an error "After Effects Error: Ray Traced 3D: ... (5070::0)" under various circumstances. Several of these have been isolated and fixed. If you get such an error message after installing this update, let us know by submitting a detailed bug report.
- Crash on quit if Nvidia cards running in Maximus configuration are running in TCC mode (on Windows).
- Crash using 3D Camera Tracker effect.
- Crash resetting Puppet effect.
- Unexpected results using Mask Feather tool in various circumstances.
- Black frames appeared in MXF footage from Canon EOS C300 camera.
- Canon 5D MKIII 720p footage was imported with the wrong timecode.
- Error occurred when setting a proxy to a nested composition: "After Effects error: Internal verification failure, sorry! {Src and dest bitdepths are different in PF_World::CopyRect} (37::109)"
- Snapping and using the J and K keys to move to keyframes and other items in the Graph Editor didn't work.
- Using the Clone Stamp tool expanded property groups in the Timeline panel.
- SDK: The AUTOMATIC_WIDE_TIME flag was not working correctly with the NON_PARAM_VARY flag.
- SDK: The AUTOMATIC_WIDE_TIME flag was returning an empty region when attempting to check out a layer at the current time.
Requirements
- Intel
- Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later
- 64-bit processor
- 4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
- 1280x900 display
- OpenGL 2.0

Even with some of the interface changes, it's still a great app. It's gotten faster than 6.5, and openGL works better.

(-) Not easy to master.
BTW don't judge it because you don't know how to use it ;-)

Things that in my opinion makes afx superior to motion :
3d space. (a total must have)
Painting options.
Script controll.
Integration to Photoshop and Illustrator.
Network rendering.
Quality of the renders.
To say that After effects is a product that´s over, is as stupid as saying that Photoshop is over..
The only thing I can see that motion have an advantage in is the speed necessary for very quick broadcast graphics.
Well, the QuickTime engine isn't used to it's full extend. No automated workflow supported (on the Mac and PC as well). You have to wait till it's ready to kick out the next job. One week with Motion means I get timely home after 6 - 8 hours. One week with AAE means I have to wait till the rendered file is exported and only now I can start the next job. A boring and time wasting approach. When I was working on Adobe After Effects I had to work 12 - 16 peer day, because a job goes only out the customer when it's done. Need I say more?
And since Encore DVD 1.5 is a crashing piece of software it was easy to give up the Adobe Video Collection and switch completely to the Mac with Mac OS X 10.3 and PowerMac G5s.
And the PCs were double CPU machines with many Gigs of RAM, too and the fastest available graphic cards.
It's time for Adobe to rethink their Video Collection. Release 0.75 beta would be a better description.
One thing is clear, after worrying years about After Effects on the Mac (and the PC), the direction is so clear, goodbye PC and goodbye AAE and Adobe Video Collection. We have switched just 50% of all workplaces with new G5s and Apple's Production Suite. And if even diehard win xp users didn't worry about using Motion and Apple's Production Suite, so it couldn't be any clearer!! The time of Adobe's Video Collection and After Effects is over that's sure!!!

Let me explain...
How many users out there can relate. Time is money right? How many projects have you been under the gun (especially television production) and with the evolving level of production quality and creativity that goes into a project the process shouldn't be hampered by the slow redraw response (:10 to 1:00+ a frame (HD)) and lengthly render times especially on duel motherboards and 64 bit processors.
For instance, last month I completed a job in a week. You might say wow what's this moron complaining about? Well in the world of After Effects a job that takes a week isn't a week in normal job hours. A one week project could (and has many times) consisted of 120+ hours to get a graphic and effects intense product to full completion.
I personally am sick of it and now have switched to Motion. Motion is heads above the headaches and painstaking snail development os AE. Even with it's numerous bugs and being version 1.0 I can save 80 hours on a one week project.
The lousy response by Adobe in upgrading their programming and (NO) integration with Apple / PC 64 bit / duel processors (which have been out for how long?) and enormous RAM hog architecture is pitiful by the so called standard program for motion design.
Let me give you an example...
I timed a HD :22 second long HD project I did between 3 different computers and here are the render times...
Del Xeon duel 2.8 with 2 GIGs of RAM
3 hours 31 mins
(home built CPU) Intel P4 3.0 with single 2 GIGs of RAM
4 hours 10 mins
here's the kicker....
Apple Duel 2.0 with 4 Gigs of RAM
3 hours 47 mins
Now I haven't tried motion on an HD project (yet) but I have used it quite extensively and what used to take me hours in AE is done in minutes with Motion.
Need I say more...
Goodbye Adobe.... And by the way if you can send me the hair I lost the past ten or so years from the stress caused by your poor product I'd appreciate it.

I could do more keying with Motion 1.0 (it arrived last monday, so just only three days) than with After Effects 6.5 in three weeks. Basically I think actions speak louder than words.
Motion is years ahead of After Effects. So make no mistake and don't stick to legacies like After Effects. Motion - at least on a ATI Radeon 9800 PM SE or any G5 - is THE WAY TO GO.
I'm thrilled to see when and with what Adobe with try to strike back. Could be very difficult to accomplish a new way for Adobe. Anything they have done 100% new has taken them two to three years, so it's better to jump ship instead of waiting for them to awake.
