black-and-white color modes, including 24-bpp (bits per pixel) and 32-bpp files; however, After Effects Standard
edition reduces 16-bpc and 32-bpc files to 8-bpc (After Effects Professional edition supports 16-bpc and 32-bpc
color). For more information on 16-bpc and 32-bpc color, see “About color depth” on page 61.
