After Effects 7 was demoed yesterday at Max
The all new interface and other new features were demoed on stage yesterday at the Macromedia Max 2005 conference. I wish someone would have taken a screen shot!!!

weeell, presuming that the audience wasn’t under an nda(?), does that mean that someone of knowledge might feel inclined to titillate the masses with some teaser comments? Certainly not, came the booming reply, but i thought id ask… I mean are those rumors of liquid gui effects when you drop in an effect true? Oh no wait. wrong crowd.. While im at it; the demoes of aperture at the apple site look mightily impressive. I actually wish i was a professional photographer, just so as i could justify buying the thing. The internal organisation, looks at first glance, to blow bridge out of the water. In the sense that its not required to be generic to a number of different software packages. It feels conceptually devoted to the task. Something that adobe land sometimes is not? The thing looks fluid & sharp as a tack. And anything that has HUDS, well, it makes me think of topgun somehow. Watching it in action, i felt a strange yearning. I’m reared on AE, but I’ll be well curious to see where adobe’s thinking is with no. seven.

no wait.. Ah feck it. Im off to play with my photoshopping centre 1.0 beta. Annnd- i have to use 3d gloves to work the interface, long sessions give sunburn annnnd i have successfully created and manipulated five dimensional imagery. So there. Toys taken, going home;)

Elin,
Have you used or do you use Combustion? Because I prefer that interface a million times over AE 6.5 But I have plugins tied to AE that keep me dialed into AE. -
A friendly suggestion: any beta tester who wishes to remain a beta tester would do well to ignore this thread. All testers are still under NDA.
best,

Were 3000+ NDAs signed at Max yd? Someone saw that demo… SPEAK UP!!!
I don’t know how Adobe picks beta testers… I’ve submitted for years, but never been used. Although I’ve beta tested half a dozen non-corporate controlled softwares. And I don’t speak of them or features because of NDAs. But Max is a public event so I’m not sure where this falls in the legal realm.
I don’t work for a studio, but I do create training for Adobe’s apps and still get treated like a red headed step child! I had always thought they were pretty open minded, but phone calls and emails got me nowhere. So I’m left to frothing at the mouth like any other outsider with sneak peaks like the one at Max 2005.

The legal position is that anyone who hasn’t signed an NDA and saw the demo can say anything they want about it. People who signed the NDA and weren’t at the demo are still contractually obliged not reveal anything until the NDA expires. People who were at the demo and under an NDA are in a greyish area, but I’d err on the side of caution and keep my lips sealed.

i know. Sure ive even sent them compromising photos of myself as confidentiality collateral. No joy.
