Adobe just released a set of very exciting After Effects beta features to the public for testing. I would even go so far as to say that one of those features is....game changing. In this video I'll walk you through all of the latest After Effects beta features that promise to improve caching for longer playback, a new tool for quickly changing the anchor points of layers, customization controls for grids, guides, and panel colors, plus new 3D light and shadow controls in the properties panel. There's a lot on the way to the current release of After Effects, and I'm here for it.
