Now I do, and if you watch the video then you will, too! In February, Adobe announced details of their interface updates to help users understand binning. In many of my other articles, I’ve referred to the After Effects rendering process as something that can take years to learn – especially when it comes to combining 2D and 3D layers – but I didn’t know what a “bin” was. But with these additional new features came additional complexity – especially when combining 2D and 3D layers in a single composition.ĭespite the fact that I’ve been using After Effects for over 20 years, I only recently learned that the term “binning” was used in relation to the way that 2D and 3D layers interact in the timeline. Adjustment layers were a welcome addition with the release of version 4, and 3D layers came a few years later. However After Effects has been around for over 25 years, and since the original release a number of key new features have been added which have made the rendering process more complex. In many cases, this is a very simple and intuitive process – this layer-based paradigm has been the key to After Effects’ success and enduring popularity. When it’s time to render a composition, the layers in the timeline are processed in a specific order to produce the final image.
After Effects revolves around a layer-based timeline, and this core functionality is largely responsible for defining what After Effects is.
