User interface changes from After Effects CS3 to After
Effects CS4
Many instructional materials—such as tutorials—created for After Effects CS3 or earlier are still useful for After Effects
CS4. In many cases, basic functionality has changed only slightly, or only the names of user interface items have
changed. You can get the most use from materials created for previous versions of After Effects if you know how the
names and locations of user interface items have changed. For information about current functionality, follow the
respective links.
For information about major new features, see
