[quote:5259]I have FCP suite so should I dive into motion or learn after effects to make myself more employable?[/quote] I personally find that Motion and Shake make a much stronger combination. Then again, I always wanted an Inferno but could never afford one. After I stepped up to a Quad G5 and Kona 3 I don't even think about Inferno anymore. Ironically, the new Linux based FFI systems use the AJA cards. In L.A. more studios are replacing their Avid systems with FCP. If you make a killer demo reel no one is going to care what software you use, but if you already have skills on the software that's being used in-house (and a lot of facilities use Shake) then it's a plus. I'm guessing at NAB this year in April there are going to be some big announcements from Apple in regards to compositing software and the whole FCP suite. I have nothing against Adobe, but the reality is FCP Studio and Shake have a much stronger presence in post production facilities than Premiere Pro. Not to mention, Steves Bayes, who is one of the key developer of Media Composer and who worked at Avid for 8+ years, joined Apple in 2006 (I think) and is Product Manager of Final Cut Pro. What does that tell ya? Regards, Mark
