With the smashing new release of Adobe – the After effects CS3 PRO, the professionals have taken a sigh with the incoming of the After Effects CS3 Professional. This tool has certainly raised the standards of the whole animation market. Incorporating an interface that will be familiar to users of After Effects 7.0 Professional, Adobe has added impressive animation features and improved functionality to this version. It runs natively on Intel Macs and works seamlessly with other members of Adobe’s new Production Premium video suite.

Not only can the user edit and animate the shapes themselves, but also the components of the shapes, including strokes, fills, roundness, dashes, gradients and more. Shape layers can contain a compound shape–a group with any number of shapes – so that animations or settings for a particular layer affect the entire group of shapes on that layer.

Well, with all these features now the designers have no bar to take their thoughts and imagination to. Adobe After Effects CS3 Professional’s new Puppet tool is intuitive and powerful, giving you the ability to take a rasterised image layer and animate it by stretching and bending character parts and limbs.

It surely is an amazing tool to work with…. Yes.. you bet !!
