Love it & Hate it…
I’ve seen/used/designed for my fair share of CGs and coming from a 3D background/Compositing backgound I really shined to Chyron(Lyric Pro + HyperX2) until I used it.
Its a Dog to build with but once you work out its quirks its pretty impressive. Using Lyric Pro is like using 3DSMax1.5 You have to do everything the hard way but it will realtime 3D render and the use of transitions is really clever.
On an other note, I’m finding Adobe’s CS3 and above not very plesent to use I think they are starting to over engineer their products.
my 2 cents
