Re: boris fx+graffiti vs red

I am both a Red and Vegas user. I contemplated the same before I decided to go with Red. The reason being, Red is a full 3D environment where objects can iteract with each other in a correct geometric fashion and can cast shadows upon each other. As one object moves behind another it is correctly ocluded. Though Boris FX does create 3D objects, the world in which they exist is 2D.

Additionally, Red can run in stand-alone mode with its own renderer and has several important features (like a powerful pixel chooser, clone paint and wire removal) that are not in FX. Though you said you are not interested in titling, Red's extruded text plays well with the other object in its 3D environment to create some neat effects.
