Here is the problem with his test. It is an Apples to Orange test due to the card. ATI 5870 is optimized for Motion.
That card is not optimized for After Effects. Here is the list: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-effects.html
I used both After Effects and Motion. And the card makes a big difference. After Effects was slow for me when I did most of my work in Motion. After FCPX I switch to a Premiere and AE workflow. A matter of fact, Premiere’s real time playback was sluggish at best. When I switched over to a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 card I saw dramatic improvement in playback in AE and Premiere. Now when I jump back into Motion for a legacy project to make changes I can tell that it is sluggish. Some crazy big projects won’t even render and I have to take it into a different edit bay that has a card Motion likes.
It is not about the program but what the artist can do with the program.

Sorry, used to using Optical Flares Plugin. Yes, with the Lens Flare Plug-in in AE you need to set its Blend Mode to Screen or Add to get rid of the black.

Adding layers messes up the layer order and will most likely ruin things. Motion should auto update any Photoshop changes made. If it doesn’t just close out the program and re-open it and it should update the Photoshop image.

I would check out Boys of Bonneville which is on Netflix instant streaming. It’s a racing documentary but delves much deeper and does a great job of telling an inspirational story.

I have lots of old projects that I have to jump back into that where created in FCP7 so I still use it. However, I think you are better off going to Avid, Premiere or FCPX then sticking with FCP7. Working with raw files is awesome! I have switch over to Premiere and love it. I’m working with RAW files that I don’t have to render…even if you key the footage you still don’t have to render it. It’s rare that I have to render anything. It does so many things that I wished FCP7 would. Plus, as a big After Effects guy I love the dynamic linking.
