I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

    No real replacement for After Effects unless if you want to juggle between 5 programs and then lose clients because they can’t open your project files

        You can’t animate text on a video clip without spending a lot of time, something which is 2 clicks on after effects

          Fair point, Blender isn’t for the weak of heart but it’s free and getting better and better. It does particles and other things too. After Effects has a steep learning curve too though, you just know it.

            I know, I love blender and work with it when I can, but I do motion design professionally and it’s painful how there’s no alternative to after effects

        We have to stop confusing compositing and motion design, Blender is great for compositing, absolutely not 2D motion design. The only software that could efficiently replace After Effects on some aspects would be Cavalry, but it’s still on early development.
