Conclusion: The engineering focus on memory management and GPU scheduling has paid off. This is objectively the fastest build of After Effects 2024 to date.
Version 24.1.0.78 includes optimizations for the Expression engine. Complex rigs that used to lag the timeline now run significantly smoother, thanks to better multi-core CPU utilization. OpenColorIO (OCIO) Workflow Adobe After Effects 2024 24.1.0.78
: A new high-performance, GPU-accelerated engine that handles high-quality antialiasing and transparency for 3D objects. Image-Based Lighting (IBL) Conclusion: The engineering focus on memory management and
This contextual panel was expanded to include camera and light properties, simplifying the adjustment of scene elements without digging through the deep layer hierarchy. Shadow Catcher: Complex rigs that used to lag the timeline
This reduces the need to constantly expand the timeline or open layer properties, accelerating common adjustments.
You can now import 3D models directly into your project. These models render using the same high-quality engine as After Effects’ native layers, allowing for seamless integration.
