Color management is faster and more precise. The system natively integrates OCIO configurations, making ACES color pipeline management smooth for Hollywood-grade visual effects.
The Mercury 3D engine allows for high-quality previews of these models directly in the viewport, ensuring that what you see is what you get. 3. Improved Performance and Stability
The Roto Brush tool receives a massive architecture upgrade. Version 24.1.0.78 incorporates a completely new machine-learning model that tracks complex objects with precision. Adobe After Effects 2024 24.1.0.78
: The updated Roto Brush engine easily isolates overlapping items, transparent fabrics, and fine hair.
High-fidelity 3D models now render in the same space as native 2D layers, masks, and text. Color management is faster and more precise
What do you primarily work on? (e.g., 2D character animation, 3D compositing, video editing/VFX)
This build improves hardware decoding for H.264 and HEVC (H.265) codecs inside the After Effects timeline. This results in smoother playback without forcing users to pre-render intermediate files into Apple ProRes or GoPro CineForm formats.
