After Effects beta is moving fast. Here are 5 features that are now in beta and will change how you work.

Features covered:

• Proportional Scrubbing: distribute value changes across multiple layers simultaneously
• Object Matte: AI-powered subject isolation that replaces the old Roto Brush workflow
• Depth of Field in Advanced 3D: true in-engine DoF with full camera controls
