Re: Just about at the crossroads...

Sounds like Nuke, Fusion etc. might not be a perfect fit for you. Pretty much anyone doing your type of work is gonna be on AE. However, if the tools for Roto, Keying etc. are better in Combustion (and I think they are) then keep using them. That's what I'm doing. I still hold out hope that they will make a Combustion 2010 (or 2011) but given their track record even if they do it will just have some other pieces bolted on rather some core fixes like 64 bit, stability etc. There are still a lot of places using Shake out there. I think there are still people using Commotion for roto!
