Test Details:
Adobe* After Effects* 7 [Testing Details - PDF 25KB] delivers a comprehensive set of tools to efficiently produce motion graphics and visual effects for film, video, multimedia, and the Web. The workload applies different filters and effects to a variety of input file types including Photoshop* PSD, Illustrator* AI and EPS, TIF, and QuickTime* MOV files. Some of the filters and effects include: blur, bulge, color key, frame blending, glow, motion blurring, fading, 2D and 3D manipulation, shadows, echo, median, radial blur, and invert. After all filters are applied, the composition is rendered to an uncompressed AVI movie file of the same resolution as the input file.

¹ Calculation based on Adobe* After Effects* 7 application applying filters and effects to 12 different multimedia input files and saving the output as uncompressed AVI files. No other applications were running during the test.
