June 2024 release (version 24.5)
The June 2024 (24.5) release presents new features, workflow improvement, and important fixes in After Effects.
Shadow catchers
Create realistic composites using a 3D shadow catcher layer to capture shadows cast by overlying 3D models.
Animated models support
Access embedded animations in the imported GLB or GLTF models and select one of them to play back in your composition.
Get depth data from an Advanced 3D scene
Extract depth data and use the map to create more realistic composites by simulating real-world camera settings for 3D renders.
OBJ Import from Libraries
Drag and drop 3D models directly from Creative Cloud Libraries into your project to enhance workflow, collaboration, and efficiency.
New presets for numbers, shapes, and more
Use new animation presets that cover infographics, numbers, transitions, textures, and more to streamline your creative projects.
Camera and Light properties in the Properties panel
Use the Properties panel to quickly access and edit Camera and Light properties and work with layer transforms.
Fixed issues in the June 2024 release (version 24.5)
After Effects no longer crashes when adding an asset from the library to a folder in the Project panel.
Animation presets are now applied correctly when Advanced 3D render is enabled.
Fixed memory leaks that caused users to run into application memory exhausted error where the mask path was keyframed.
Improved UI interaction performance in the composition panel with Faux Bold enabled.
Pasting a keyframe from a scale property no longer gives an error.
The 3D model layer keyboard shortcut to toggle shadows now works correctly.
Purging ALL_CACHES no longer shows a confirmation dialog when scripts are run from ScriptUI palette, ScriptUI window, or VSCode Extendscript debugger.
Purging ALL_CACHES now purges cache successfully if app.purge() is called from a ScriptUI dialog.

Apr 9, 2011 Version: 10
OS: Windows 7 64-bit Ease of use: 8/10
Functionality: 9/10
Value for money: 9/10
Overall: 9/10
Tight integration with Photoshop and Illustrator and one of the easiest compositors to understand and use (but they're all complicated). Uses a familiar layered timeline interface. A myriad of great 3rd party plug ins (3D, light filters, special fx etc), some of which cost more than the application! Pro version includes extra base filter pack.
I'd like it more if Adobe had included autosave with my version, but unlike other compositors AE rarely crashes and allows you to work to deadlines. Suitable for pros and hobbyists with plenty of spare cash!
