interested to hear what else you have to say. My copy is on back-order... damn.
It always amazes me that there are actually people excited about the release of software such as AE. I understand that all creative people love their tools since through them they express their imagination but I can't get it with After Effects…
I mean… I have seen people that if possible they would merry their Digital Fusion or Shake but with AE I just dont get it…
Anyway, Stu you are responsible for Magic Bullet so you have my total respect. This Deartifacting algorithm has saved my life so whatever… you are the man!
Funny, because I'm always amazed at people who choose to diminish other peoples excitement for no apparent reason... like you said, I guess I "just don't get it."
It's a tool for a job, if you don't need the tool then don't use it. But don't be amazed that there are people who get excited about AE. Digital Fusion and Shake are not good tools for doing what I do in AE. Does that mean I am amazed that people actually use them? No. Tool for a job.
Chris,
What do you do in AE that Fusion/Shake aren't good tools for? I'm one of those people who's really excited for Fusion and I can't think of anything it couldn't do. Maybe you could share some insight in that?
If you're using a piece of software for 8+ hours a day how could you not get excited about a new version? Maybe if you didn't enjoy your job I could understand but if you like what you're doing? When I worked construction I would go and ogle the new power tools, (actually I still do, just have no excuse to buy them any more) it's the same thing.
That, and some of us simply can't afford some of these über-tools, like Shake and Fusion. AE is all we've got, for now at least. For now (at least) it's cross-platform, too.
AE's not perfect (far from it!) but I, at least, am looking forward to v.7.
