Advances in Visual Composition and Animation

The 25.2 update of the post-production software introduces substantial improvements in handling complex projects. These innovations respond to the current needs of visual content creators, offering greater efficiency in technical and creative processes. The main focus is on optimizing the workflow without sacrificing quality or precision.

Performance and Visualization Improvements

The playback system undergoes a significant transformation in its basic architecture. By using disk storage for rendered frames, traditional memory limitations are overcome. This modification allows:

Expanded Support for Advanced Formats

The ability to work directly with high dynamic range content eliminates intermediate steps in production. Artists can evaluate their compositions under real conditions from early project stages. This native integration with modern HDR standards reflects the evolution of display devices available in the market.

Expansion of Three-Dimensional Capabilities

Interoperability with 3D elements reaches new levels of versatility in this version. The inclusion of the FBX format as a native option facilitates resource exchange between applications. Particularly noteworthy is the possibility of using animated compositions as light sources, opening unprecedented creative possibilities for motion graphics projects.

Interface customization adjustments, although less flashy, substantially contribute to the daily experience. The ability to adapt the visual environment and quickly access frequent functions significantly optimizes working time. These cumulative improvements represent another step in the constant evolution of digital creative tools.
