 | Performance | unknown against After Effects | Internal numbers only (e.g. Advanced 3D 290 ms/frame at 1080p on the GPU, an M4 Pro under load). Nothing benchmarked against After Effects; no large real projects (4K footage, hundreds of layers) tested |
 | Media formats | ≈ 80% | H.264, ProRes, HEVC, AV1, image sequences and audio exist. The new HEVC / AV1 encoders have no B-frames, multi-reference or SAO / CDEF, so files are larger than from mature encoders. Camera formats (BRAW, R3D, ProRes RAW, variable-frame-rate phone video) are unverified |
 | AI-assisted tools | ≈ 50% | Both tools can use trained models (pure-Rust inference, optional downloads), but nothing compares them with After Effects yet. Roto Brush 2.0 / 3.0 with MobileSAM (M13.35) scores IoU 0.989 on the base frame of our synthetic moving-disc test and ≥ 0.980 over 20 propagated frames (classic: 0.973).
