This was the most significant technical upgrade, allowing After Effects to save previews to the disk. Before this, if you closed your project, you would lose all rendered previews; CS6 allowed you to reopen a project and have your previews ready instantly. Ray-Traced 3D Engine:
Faster interactivity via OpenGL; permanent caching saves hours of re-rendering.
Added the ability to precisely control the softness of mask edges at different points, providing significantly more creative flexibility than previous versions.
The last composition the project made for me was simple. It showed my mother, her hands folded in her lap, smiling like she had when I was small. The caption read: Remember this first. And beneath it, the ledger’s last entry: traded away the biscuit tin's lid pattern for her laugh. I pressed save, then quit. Outside, in the city, a storm began, soft and indifferent. The rain washed small things from leaves into gutters. New envelopes arrived in plain post, and people continued to find small miracles in unexpected parcels. Someone, somewhere, still had a copy of the file. Someone, somewhere, would open it and make ghosts move.
