Using this method, you can grab parameters from one text layer and set them on another. If you’re into Expressions, you will likely appreciate being able to access text property parameters through Expressions. This will be a huge time saver to all those who use Expressions when creating effects and templates. Prior to this you had to use sliders to switch between settings, but now, you can use a drop down menu instead, and even rename each menu to exactly what you need, making such alteration much easier to perform. It should help make templates much easier. However this means that these dropped down menus can be used as master properties, and when you add them to a new composition they’ll be available there as well. Now this can make it easier to access should you need to change the values often over time, or when building a template for instance. Essentially, any drop down menu you can access from the list in the timeline can be dragged in its entirety to the Essential Graphics Panel. Once done, After Effects will then use that altered frame as a reference to improve its own calculation and give you a more seamless result for your clip.ĭrag a menu from the timeline to the Essential Graphics panel, and even to Master Properties for greater ease and customisation of your effects and templates (Image credit: Adobe) Drop down menusĪ big improvement has been made to the interface with the way you can control parameters in drop down menus. Activating this bring said frame into Photoshop, where you can work on removing the offending object, by using that app’s Content Aware Fill to recreate the background.
However, you can also see the huge advantage Adobe has in controlling so many properties: in order to improve the effect, you can create a reference frame.
As always, your results will depend on your clip’s content, and we found simple a background yields much better results. What you could do with a still image in Photoshop, you can now do to video in After Effects. Photoshop users undoubtably have been aware of a similar feature for a while: it allows you to remove an object from the screen and the background to be seamlessly extended over this gap to essentially make that object disappear. We’re well aware this isn’t actually a new feature introduced with the latest release, but it’s so important, we felt we needed talking about it. You’ll notice that Content Aware Fill has been significantly sped up in this latest version (Image credit: Adobe) Content Aware Fillīut what’s Content Aware Fill we hear you ask? That’s one of the big ones that were introduced between 20, and is a great new addition to After Effects. In our mind, this alone is worth upgrading to the latest version as soon as you’re able. We’ve noticed performance boosts when using Shape layers, certain expressions were sped up, And the Content Aware Fill feature also greatly benefited from this. However, during our interaction with the app for this review, we did find the interface to be more responsive, playback to be more fluid, and the whole interface on the whole to be a lot more stable. Of course, we say “should”, because as always when working with complex files, projects and effects, there could be instances where it’s clear Adobe still has some work to do. The main one which will be immediately obvious to nearly all users, is preview playback optimisation: not only is After Effects creating the ram preview for your project quicker, but once done, you should be able to play back your project in real time, even while you’re interacting with the user interface.

Adobe have worked very hard to make this huge software is more responsive and this can be seen in many places. The programmers have focused themselves on performance. The big one for this release is speed and stability.
