What's new in Adobe After Effects SDK CS5 Release 1

May 3, 2010
  • The biggest change is 64-bit support. As a result of the 64-bit port, we have had to change code that assumed a long was 32-bits. 32-bit binaries are not supported in CS5. The sample projects have been ported to 64-bit.
  • Custom UI drawing for effects has also changed. The new Drawbot suites replace the previous drawing methods. See the ColorGrid sample project for an example of how to use Drawbot.
  • Multibyte-encoded platform paths have been upgraded to Unicode. This required changes to the AEGP entry point function, various AEGP suites, and the AEIO_FunctionBlock.
