Serif with its Affinty is striving to be better by being unique,and and again better at the same time. Do you realize they still use Amiga in Hollywood ,and othere places like NASA.,and TBN. i could give a littinty of problems with s. I dont know what is with this fake sitgma of Adobe and Mac ,but it is a bunch of horse blah.Affinity comes out with stuff in beta ,and its it doesn't have this or that. The Engineers and the CEO has said so Therefore Adobe surely isnt the greatest since sliced bread, and it isnt. The PC/MAc Toaster/Lightwave can't compete against any orginal Amiga Toaster/FLyer. Since,the Toaster/Ligthwave for the Pc/Mac which is better then any Adobe product. humm Still cant beat quailty as some where relased on windos ,and failed miserably. Windows companies bought it outright from Kermit. ,and you didnt kick the tires.The Amiga still out weighs the Adobe stuff.Really Image Fx, Millieum, and many more. Moho 12 can replace the need for most 2D animation done in AE for about the price of an After Effects plugin but there is so much more utility that needs to be covered.ĪCtually there was and is IT was the Sheepeople part of you. There simply isn't a decent alternative to what After Effects does. We need Affinity Animator to take on Adobe's monopoly on Motion Design w/ After Effects. Stick to what you're good at and continue to make it utterly brilliant.
This oversight is simply criminal and reduces FCPX to my "fun to own" list of software, and not a pro tool I use for paying clients.ĭon't be tempted to become Adobe and try shovel a tool for every industry onto your customers. This means I can't send my project to an audio engineer for a final mix. I love using FCPX, but I keep having to go back to Premier just because of one missing feature – it can't export an OMF any more. Only now, with v1.3, is FCPX finally clawing back its lost user base. They even had to return Final Cut Pro 7 to the app store to quell the anger.
It was missing a few features that I'd hardly considered critical, and yet they nearly lost the entire editing industry to Premier over night. Have a look at the backlash Apple experienced when it launched Final Cut Pro X.
If you think designers are critical about your software and its features, wait until you try win over the video editing industry. If you do, it will water down the current line up of apps. You can't go into video with a consumer, or even pro-sumer level application. Then what next? You'll have to add 3D modelling, motion graphics, color grading and sound editing to that video editor to be considered serious player in the video scene.Īlso, Affinity apps are professional-level apps. Video is a totally different beast, and I really doubt you could make something better than Final Cut Pro, anyway. Continue along your development path and own these fields.
