Is Motion the “after effects killer” app?
I have been using FCP since forever, but always with afterEffects and later Combustion(i like combustion better BTW) but with the new version, will Motion be able to take some of this work…and save me a few dollars in extra apps.
thxjoe pitts

Joe,
After Effects will never go away. I’m sure you can do a lot of cool and lucrative stuff with Motion, but it is so different in terms of interface and utility, I don’t really put them in the same category.

Frankly, I found MOTION to be my biggest disapointment from the Production Suite. Mind you, I did have fairly high expectations, but I wasn’t expecting a complete bomb.
Reasons I hate it:
1. The moment I have more than 5 layers, the whole thing bogs down.
2. Going between menus (Inspector, Timeline, etc), is extremely choppy
3. Causes repeated crashes within FCP
4. ‘Real-Time’…. that’s’ a joke. I would consider AE to be more real time even though they don’t advertise it.
5. Way more limited than AE in terms of features and control.Somebody please tell me it’s just me and I will be more than happy to re-install it if I have to…. but for now, that’s my experience.

Hey Dominik,
What are your system specs (RAM, CPU, GPU)?
-
Dual 2 ghz G5
2.5 gigs Ram
256mg Graphics Card…. I forget which one but I upgraded in order for it to work well with Motion.
