After Effects is actually one of the most valuable creative programs to learn as an editor.

CUT DAILY #374 – After Effects for Everyone

It is so true, every editor should know After Effects. Honestly I mostly don’t even consider doing any graphics in my NLE and just jump into after effects, but I have also been using it for well over 20 years now, and am always learning something new. So spend sone time and learn something new.

Next-Gen Roto Brush, I have been looking forward to, the 3rd generation, and hopefully the best and most powerful version to date.

OpenColorIO Workflow enhancements is welcome as this is an industry standard and After Effects has always lacked color options.

Text Scripting Support should be an interesting addition to make more powerful text animations.

And Currently in the Beta

True 3D Workspace should be pretty awesome, since Adobe does have it’s own 3D software (just wish it was part of the same subscription).

Yet another must read After Effects roundup, that I am posting about really late.

Late as usual posting these, but they are always literally a must read.
