We have switched just 50% of all workplaces with new G5s and Apple's Production Suite. One thing is clear, after worrying years about After Effects on the Mac (and the PC), the direction is so clear, goodbye PC and goodbye AAE and Adobe Video Collection. Release 0.75 beta would be a better description. It's time for Adobe to rethink their Video Collection. Need I say more?Īnd since Encore DVD 1.5 is a crashing piece of software it was easy to give up the Adobe Video Collection and switch completely to the Mac with Mac OS X 10.3 and PowerMac G5s.Īnd the PCs were double CPU machines with many Gigs of RAM, too and the fastest available graphic cards. When I was working on Adobe After Effects I had to work 12 - 16 peer day, because a job goes only out the customer when it's done. One week with AAE means I have to wait till the rendered file is exported and only now I can start the next job. One week with Motion means I get timely home after 6 - 8 hours. You have to wait till it's ready to kick out the next job. No automated workflow supported (on the Mac and PC as well). Well, the QuickTime engine isn't used to it's full extend. So much wasted time it's absolutely incredible. I wonder how I could have worked all the last years with AAE.
