Alt-double-clicking the Zoom tool now instantly centers the view without delay.
After Effects no longer crashes when using Advanced 3D on systems where the Windows user folder name contains Unicode characters.

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!
