The exact list:
– re-architecture for interactive performance improvements
– uninterrupted previews
– unified, simplified, and customizable previews
– Creative Cloud Libraries
– face tracker
– Adobe Character Animator (Preview 1)
– improved expression error handling and added debugging information for rendering issues
– user interface improvements, including customizability and panel tab redesign
– Maxon Cineware v2.0.16
– updated RED and OpenEXR importers
I wouldn’t say this is much more than what you said, in fact I wouldn’t say this list belong to a proper new release of After Effects.
This is the effect of the renting only license system, they don’t need to make proper improvements in the software, they can throw whatever they want, if you want to keep working with AE you have to pay for it, even when you don’t want or need the new crappy/marketing features they do.
Welcom to the age of NO-PROGRESS
Cheers.
Juang3d,
I’m on the same line about the subscription critique. I never believed in that move. At work we switched to it almost right away just to find out CC was very buggy and there were no actual important new features (in fact I’m personally sticking to CS6 as long as I can).
That being said, there are a few things that caught my interest in this new release:
– Uninterrupted previews, I’m curious to see if this actually works (and how it works), or if it’s just another buggy feature they threw in.
– Updated RED and OpenEXR importers, not sure what that means, if it’s improving overall the Exr experience within AE, it’s a very welcome update. Hard to believe, as to me the market is very clear about this: serious/heavy compositing/exr handling = Nuke (I guess Fusion as well, but I don’t know it), motion graphics = AE
I guess let’s wait and see if it’s a solid release or not.
There’s a video showing the uninterrupted preview feature on the AE FB page:

The Evangelist! Almost forgot about the dude 🙂
Nice, perhaps the uninterrupted preview it’s really something useful.
This shows also how easy is color correcting now:

Which makes me feel almost uncomfortable, I mean, it seems more like oriented toward an Instagram user rather than someone who takes color correction seriously. Quoting:
“Without needing deep knowledge of grading”.

Meh… and I was trying to study color correction, who need that anymore? 😉
Get out of here Baselight!
-> sarcastic mode off
What you would expect about an updated EXR workflow is not what they give there.
They say that they just recompiled the plugins to work with CC2015… that’s it… nothing more under the sleeve… if I’m wrong please someone that knows this better, come and correct me, but AFAIK it’s just a plugin recompilation…
Cheers.
