me motion graphics grading editor guy, doing *a bit* of compositing = me likee AE very very much.
It surely isn’t a functioning nodal compositor, and I know enough smoke guys (like dan!) who would simply state that a functioning compositor is a nodal compositor – by definition.
At its heart AE is an incredibly hulked out photoshop with a timeline bolted onto the layers, but for a lot of people, that is a highly desirable thing.
For its sweet spot, AE is a mad hotrod. Just think of how many multi thousand dollar plugin packages that were absorbed into that thing – all of Maffits stuff, CC, grain surgery, keylight, colour finesse – in that sense alone there is a Viking hoard in there…

I’ll say. the context is very different now.
the thing I find interesting about this is that Adobe did all the very important things in Photoshop a while ago now, same for Illustrator, same for AE.
Argue you all you want about a touch of mission drift in PS (although 6 looks right on the money) but I will defend AE until the day I die. If you compare AE CS5
to say AE 5.5 – first release with camera, last release with floating tabs, the refinement and strengthening of that App is astonishing – literally every last square inch of the thing has been honed to within an inch of its life. Razor clean chrome, brilliant keyframing, industrial strength effects, its just an absolutely cracking piece of software.Now I never paid an iota of attention to premiere for the last five years, but realistically, its underpinnings are in great shape. the architecture is very clean, very modern, and very powerful. And then there is simply a lot for Adobe to do and iterate here. But Adobe really know how to do that. And they have a real goal now – eating everything that isn’t Avid, which depending on what way you measure the universe, is about a fifty percent market share up for grabs.
Adobe know how to make great video software, and if their ear was any closer to the ground, they would be an Indian scout.Like I say – I’m rooting for Premiere.

Is anything bar avid ever going to work at this rate?
Reality – melting. I invoke Picard.

It wouldn’t be too crazy if 21c media production broadly became a pc concern would it?

not at all looking to over-press the point Craig – but in the US say, outside of the people here posting, and, to be fair, mark morache is pretty ambivalent at this point… but in terms of ‘many professional environments’ type thing, do you have particular facilities houses, broadcast departments, production companies type stuff in your head?
I know there was that guy who gave the talk and said he was moving his facility to FCPX – but he’s been a bit quiet lately? forget the name, as usual…
