    In the latest installment of "VizWorld Asks", we want to know what's your favorite Compositing suite?

    • After Effects?
    • Nuke?
    • Shake?
    • Combustion?

    or maybe something else entirely? Let us know your answer!

    I use AE, but that's primarily due to inexperience. I've never used anything else (other than home grown image compositing code, ImageMagick, or PIL).

    I'm undoubtedly revealing what a dinosaur I am, but I love the PPM tools ... command line stuff rocks. Are the other tools listed command line friendly and available on Unix? (Implicit comment: a VizWorld writeup summarizing the tools would be very useful.)

    I learned on after effects, and found the same interface in several other programs. I tried flash for a month or so but it too 20 clicks to do something you could do in 5 in after effects. I found the language of the program so iterating. There is no "canvas", anyway I think they fixed the animation issues in the last version to be more like after effects.

    Digital Fusion uses nodes I tried it for a while but went back to after effects. It seemed like a better way of doing things but I have not used it that much. I would like to use it more. At the time it was better than After effects as you could work in 3D space. After effects has caught up a little as it moves flat plains in 3D space not 3D objects. I think they added nodes too. I really should brush up on this stuff before commenting bit i noticed Digital Fusion was not on your list and should be.
