    I don’t think that ctrl+T shortcut worked in 5.5, I think that was introduced in version 7.

    If your computer has lots of RAM, you will be blown away by how much better 10.5 is than version 5.5. Soooo much faster! Also, sooo many more useful options and soooo many more useful plugins.

    Keylight for keying is amazing. It lets you do soooo much.
    Mocha for motion tracking is fantastic. It’s a planar tracker and it comes free!
    Synthetic Aperture’s Color Finesse is a great color grading tool with all the scopes you could want!
    The text animators alone would be worth the upgrade.
    The 64-bit capability on a powerful machine is well worth the money in the amount of time saved during rendering.
    Roto Brush is pretty cool and the new warp stabilizer is quite nice.
    Forge Freeform is a pretty cool tool too.
