Well put Perry, exactly my thoughts!
Speaking of Fusion: I had the pleasure of using the free version last week
for 7 consecutive days in a a row, 10 hrs a day. It was blazingly fast
(compared to AE anyway), did not crash once, and the look of the node tree
was pleasing enough to not make my eyes bleed (as opposed to Nuke's). Even
the pro version is a bargain for $1000 for what you get.
+1 on all
Totally agree.
This "news" sickened me and if true, could mean great things for Fusion
and nothing but bad news for the rest.
I've seen the usability and stability of After Effects (AE) decline
sharply over the timeframe that AE has been a rental product. Updates
cause >problems instead of fixing them and development has slowed (even
further). Not so with Nuke.
Adobe wants VFX to be accessible to the consumer, and while I don't
discount the research they have done, some of which has been quite
>amazing, most of their focus has been on one button type of VFX
solutions and not on stability and flexibility, which is what we need
and what >The Foundry supplies software that excels in.
Rotobrush, PuppetTool, CameraTracker all designed to make as close to a
one button solution as possible. These tools works great in certain
>situations, but when the shot gets tough, you quickly run out of
options.
Nuke is nothing but options, and is far more ICE-like than AE is.
Having something as flexible as Nuke owned by a company that has a huge
competitive market-dominating product like AE, should send chills up
>your spine as to how closely it matches the Autodesk Maya/Soft debacle.

Again, I don't know what Adobe you guys are thinking of, but the one I

For me Adobe could possibly be the next Autodesk, but I really hope
I'm wrong.

There must be another company named Adobe I'm not aware of...
Adobe has had nothing but contempt for VFX for years, and people
would actually get on board with this?
If there is any truth to these incompetently written piece of news
