Folks, I’m truly grateful for the warm welcome here and outreach with sources of training (I was away for a few days and couldn’t thank you sooner). Once I get up and running, I’ll probably be back with substantive questions. 🙂
Cheers,

Owen, I really appreciate your frank and detailed assessment of your experience and some realistic expectations. Honestly, my only real concern was the learning curve. I’m approaching this as a long term process, much as I did (and still do) with my background in video editing.
Believe it or not, for me one of several’selling points’ of Cinema, and AE for that matter, is the enormous amount of training available. Yes, I located materials on Lynda.com. (Is your recommendation of the 11.5 materials because you own that version of Cinema? A training series for 12 also exists.)
Thanks again for the comments.

Still up for grabs, Ty? May be interested. (Sorry — new user here; couldn’t figure out yet how to PM.)

Wow, many thanks for a quick and encouraging response, Adam. I’ll check out the cineversity tut you recommended.
Follow-on Q to your remark about AE: Can Cinema be used to composite, or is that really the province of something like AE? Example: I create a 3D animation in Cinema. Now I want to add clouds (or whatever moving image from a video clip) to layer into the 3D scene. I’ve seen this done after export to AE. Can this be achieved in a Cinema project, too, or would I have to mask and composite within AE? This may sound nit-picky, I know, but I’m just wondering up front about a potential cash outlay for the tools I need.
Cheers,
Steve
