Just to add a couterpoint to this discussion….
I am a proponent of using each application in the Production Studio for what it does best. Audition for Audio, Encore for DVDs, After Effects for special effects and motion titles, and Premiere Pro to put all the pieces together to feed Encore.
So if After Effects does timewarp or time remapping, which is really a special effect, then I say so be it. Use the right tool for each job rather than try to make each tool overlap.
Having said that, I believe that the memory management issues should be resolved so that all four apps can be open at the same time and transfer between them all should be seamless. And that the problem with Dynamic link between AE and PPro be fixed so that renders are only needed for the current comp.
If we coerce Adobe into working on the most important things, like memory problems, asset management, more compatibility with seamless changes from one app to another, I believe we would be better off.
Just my opinion.
