Re: AE Advantages over Motion?

Here's a couple more considerations:

I don't think I've ever seen an ad saying, "Apple Motion Artists Wanted". However, that's hardly the case for AE. Perhaps that's due to the fact that AE's been around for years, and it's a known quantity in the business, but AE is the more widely-used application by far.

Apple's Shake is a known industry product, and while Motion has a big subset of Shake's capabilities, I think there's an industry perception that it's a more consumer-based application. There's DVD Studio Pro, and then there's iDVD. There's Soundtrack Pro, and then there's Garage Band. There's After Effects, and then there's Motion. Whether it's valid or not, I think a lot of people perceive Motion as sort of an "iAfter Effects".
