Shake 4.1 VS Motion?

As I said, Shake is addictive (and time consuming).

I am by no means a Shake wiz, but once you get the grip on how it works, Motion just seems counterintuitive...

I keep telling myself:
This would have been soooo much easier in Motion, but end up doing it in shake anyway.

Shake sorta gives you the bits and pieces you order, for better or worse, Motion seems to want to tell you how to do it.

(and I do hear how this sounds like "DOS is for real, Mac OS is for kids" and I do not really subscribe to that POV...)

But that's just me.

Shake is owerwhelming, but fun!

(Who have managed to go through quite a few shake tutorials, but is constantly put off by the motion ones.
A typical day:

"Yeah! Today I'll really be a good boy, give motion a shot and work through some of the books I've bought....

Some hours later...
"Ah... I'll just shake it")

Come on Captain! Don't be like that! Buck up, man! I'm older than you and I STILL down the curdled glass of rotting milk that is "Change" without hesitation!

Ok, I don't, I lied, I hate change, but it sounded cool...
 
Hahaha -- but I'm a rebel in the Military -- you want Change for Change SAKE???

Give me my F16 and I'll outfly you hotshot F22 rats.

Totally disagree. I use it to make my own custom Alpha Transitions for DVDSP all the time. Very quick, easy, powerful. With FX Factory, it's pretty powerful, fast and easy. It's the hottest training selling of all Apple's pro apps.

Good point, as I earlier stated I dont have time to learn shake - thus I steer clear of compositing myself. If I really need something Ill pay someone to do it well, not me bungling around for weeks wasting time I dont have.

As for motion its perfect for transitions in DVDSP, I also use it regularly for making complex titles.
