Effects and animation presets changes


Effects and animation presets changes
New Color Correction effects based on Photoshop adjustment layer types. When you import PSD files with these adjustments, they are
preserved:
Black & White effect
Selective Color effect
Vibrance effect
The results of changes in the Curves effect are now shown as you drag in the Effect Controls panel, rather than only being shown when you
release the mouse button: Curves effect
Removed entries in Effects & Presets panel and Effect menu for the Paint effect (and Paint category) and Puppet effect (from Distort
category), because there's no need to apply these effects directly. Use the corresponding tools to apply the effects: Paint tools: Brush, Clone
Stamp, and Eraser and Animating with Puppet tools
The histogram in the Levels effect provides the option to see individual color channels in context with other color channels, as well as
showing color channels as colorized: Levels effect
The Alpha Levels effect has been removed. Instead, use the Levels effect, which can be assigned to work only on an alpha channel, has a
histogram, and is a 32-bpc effect. Old projects that use the Alpha Levels effect will still open, and you will still be able to modify the Alpha
Levels effect properties in these projects: Levels effect
The Vector Paint effect has been removed. Compositions created with a previous version of After Effects that use the Vector Paint effect will
still render, but you will not be able to modify the Vector Paint effect properties in these compositions. Instead, use paint tools and shape
layers: Drawing, painting, and paths
Font preview support (the Show Font option) has been removed from the Basic Text, Path Text, and Numbers effects.
The Show Animation Presets option is now off by default in the panel menu of the Effect Controls panel: Effect Controls panel
The Effects & Presets panel command Reveal In Finder (Mac OS) or Reveal In Windows Explorer (Windows) now works for Pixel Bender
effects: Effects and Presets panel
The Exposure slider in the Exposure effect now has a range from -4 to 4 instead of -20 to 20 to allow for more precise adjustment: Exposure
effect
Changed behavior for copying effects when the Effect Controls panel is active. Even if a property of an effect is selected, the effect itself (not
just the selected properties visible in the Timeline panel) will be copied. Behavior when the Effect Controls panel isn't active is unchanged:
Effect Controls panel.
