Adobe After Effects CC 2015 is the de-facto industry standard for post-production of movies and television. The software offers a wide range of functions designed for visual effects and video editing, while receiving new features, bug fixes and improvements with every update - the CC or Creative Cloud model of subscription ensures that you stay tuned with everything new that Adobe is introducing to the ecosystem. Besides being updated on the regular basis and having access to all of your templates, presets and libraries via the cloud, you are also offered a deep integration with other software from Adobe including, but not limited to Premiere Pro and Photoshop families, mobile apps, et cetera.
The following release of After Effects offers you more than 40 million professional level, curated and free from usage limitations graphic and image assets via Adobe Stock . All of the latter can be drag-and-dropped directly to your project (straight to Composition and Timeline panels) or preset and their licenses managed later via the Libraries panel, saving your time from browsing web in search of the perfect asset for your project. However, it must be noted that in certain releases, preview pictures don't automatically replaced with the licensed images. In order to do that, you have to manually add the licensed version to your project - find the asset in the Project panel and, while holding the Option/Alt key, drag-and-drop the licensed one onto the preview picture.
Apart from adding the Creative Cloud libraries and Adobe Stock, After Effects 2015 CC has multiple other new features and improvements over the CS6, such as improved user interface with support for high-definition monitors, uninterrupted and simplified preview, live Text Templates, Mercury transmit, Typekit Integration, Mask Tracker, GPU optimizations, live 3D pipeline, Warp stabilizer and many others.
Out of the mentioned improvements above, introducing GPU optimization is one of the most important ones - as the OptiX library from Nvidia has been updated, Pascal and Maxwell-architecture GPUs (1000 and 900 series respectively) receive a minimal 3x boost in performance and can be used now for the ray-traced 3D renderer (Windows OS only feature). Plus import color management was greatly improved: linear-color pixel formats get automatically recognized now and certain HD formats do not show up as SD quality.
Although After Effects is somewhat of a demanding software, as it requires a 64-bit CPU, 8GB of RAM, 1080p monitor and prefers a certified GPU, at the same time it is a well optimized program which takes as low as 5GB of hard-drive space and can run on virtually any graphics card (however only certified ones allow for GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D asset rendering).
Professionals who heavily rely on Cinema 4D now can use a new looped workflow, where they can export animated 3D text in Cinema 4D format (.c4d), which in its turn can later be imported back into After Effects. CC 2015 also features multiple enhancements to OpenGL rendering and various bug fixes.
As compared to the previous versions, After Effects CC supports audio import formats such as AAC, M4A, AIF, AIFF, MP3, MPEG (other from MPEG family), WAV; image import in AI, EPS, PS, PDF, PSD, BMP, RLE, DIB, TIF, CRW, NEF, RAF, ORF, MRW, DCR, MOS, RAW, PEF, SRF, DNG, X3F, CR2, ERF, CIN, DPX, GIF, RLA, RPF, IMG, EI, EPS, IFF, TDI, JPG, JPE, MA, EXR; import and export in PCX, PNG, HDR, RGBE, XYZE, SGI, BW, RGB, PIC, TGA, VDA, ICB, VST; video import in SWF, FLV, F4V, M2TS, H.264 - M4V, MXF, MPG (other MPEG), WMV and import/export in 3GP, GIF, DV (double check supported effects), OMF, MOV and AVI. Cinema 4D import and export is also possible (Cineware effect)
