Version 26.3 du 20/06/2026- Create and use Depth of Field in the Advanced 3D renderer : Create a Depth of Field effect that lets you focus on 3D models, parametric meshes, Substance 3D materials, 3D text, shape layers, and more in Advanced 3D.
- Copy and paste Illustrator and SVG content : Paste SVG content from Illustrator or other apps directly into After Effects as native, editable shape layers using Edit > Paste.
- Updated Mask Tracker : Track masks faster and more accurately with the updated mask tracker, now up to 5x faster with accessible controls that let you start tracking directly from the Timeline panel.
- Copy a frame to the clipboard : Capture the currently rendered frame as a still image from the Composition, Footage, or Layer panel and copy it to your system clipboard in a single click.
- Curl Noise effect for swirling animated 2D patterns : Create fluid, organic 2D noise that feels like smoke, water, or ink, ideal for smooth, flowing motion in backgrounds, textures, and abstract animations.
- Quickly Find Variable Fonts by Axis : Filter the font list to show only variable fonts, making it easier to find the right fonts.
- Fixed 3D : Hand-tool navigation stays smooth at very low zoom levels.
