Product Description:

As the name suggests, this application allows you to apply effects, composites, and animation for film, video, multimedia, and Web projects. Compositing features include unlimited layers, Bezier masks, alpha-channel controls, antialiasing, interlayer transfers, and the ability to mix multiple file resolutions. Unlimited key frames can be added to animate all layer attributes, including position, rotation, scale, anchor point, and opacity. Layers can be positioned and animated within one one-thousandth of a pixel.

In addition to more than 60 special effects, time remapping can be used to create such effects as variable slow motion, frame stuttering, playback delay, backward playback, and hold frames. Adobe After Effects can be seamlessly integrated with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Premiere. Version 7.0.1 include unspecified updates. Version 8.0.2 includes unspecified updates.

What's new in this version:

Crash on quit if the active workspace when After Effects starts includes a ScriptUI Panel. (48419, 49138, 49163)
Several memory corruption issues; fix should improve overall application stability.
Crash on startup on computers with very old OpenGL drivers, or unsupported video card manufacturers. (49698, 2266571, 2283657, 49758)
Crash on startup due to a corrupt XML file in the preferences directory, such as used by workspaces, dialog boxes, and Pixel Bender. Now, the corrupt file will be appended with a .old extension so that startup can proceed. (49837)
Crash on startup due to unsupported codec. Now, a warning message will identify the unsupported codec and associated file name. (49876)
When a PDFL crash occurs during startup, more information is now provided, indicating that a bad font may be causing the crash. (49901)
(Windows only) Drawing surface errors and short RAM previews due to exhaustion of GDI resources (handles). Now, you should have better memory usage, resulting in longer RAM previews and improved performance. (49912)
Cannot open DPX file that can be opened in Photoshop CS4; file converted from Phantom .cine to DPX using Glue Tools. (49330)
"After Effect error: internal verification failure, sorry! {fill me in}" error trying to import multi-image element DPX footage, such as from a Northlight Film Scanner. (50121)
Audio conforming failure when importing certain FLV files. (2319601)
Crash when using Pixel Bender effects, GPU-accelerated effects, and Cartoon effect in low-memory situations. Instead of being marked invalid, Pixel Bender effects can be reapplied when memory becomes available. (2276200, 50174)
Crash in the Puppet effect when generating the mesh on a complex shape (possibly when Expansion is zero). (49971)
(Mac OS only) Crash in the Puppet effect when pasting keyframes into a non-keyframed Puppet pin Position property. (49508)
"could not convert unicode characters (23::46)" error applying CC RepeTile effect in Chinese OS (49988), or crash using CC Particle World on Mac Pro 8-Core i7 (Nehalem) machines (50366).
Crash trying to interrupt rendering (e.g., dragging to adjust values) for the Fog 3D, Depth Matte, or ID Matte effect when placed after other effects (49491, 49492, 49493); for Fractal Noise and Turbulent Noise effects (50111); and for EXtractoR and IDentifier effects when placed after other effects. (49921)
Crash when deleting the Tone effect from one composition, when that composition is used (nested) in another composition. (50081)
(Mac OS only) Incorrect Mac type/creator codes for OpenEXR, PICT, PNG, TIFF, and Cineon rendered files, which made them unrecognizable by Final Cut Pro. (49811)
Crash on quit or close of project after multiple layers with various video/audio states (active, solo) are copied. (49632)
Crash on quit with layers on the clipboard that are adjustment layers with effects with points or collapsed layers. (50079, 49922)
Incorrect dimensions of a multiple-layer Photoshop file imported as a composition with cropped layers and merged layer styles. (50146)
(Mac OS only) "invalid file location specification (must include name) (3::45)" error on quit if you create or open a project containing Particle Playground effect. (49892)

Inexcusable that these problems shipped in a professional app! I should have gotten a personalized email apologizing for this and an another that notified me of the fix. My AE crashes every time I quit - just terrible!
