Dear Maxon

Dear Maxon, if you read this, please buy After Effects from Adobe and save us future trouble. Every new version is getting worse and slower. I think this application would be much better developed under Maxon and their team.

I just had this to say.

Thank you.

    So strange to me when people prefer Maxon's system of paying over Adobe's. I remember pre-CC when there was a $3,000 barrier to entry to be able to use AE and Premiere. Then another $3,000 for C4D. If you started paying full price the day CC was released (which I don't think you could, I think there was a special price the first year but I digress) you have spent, as of this month, $2,600 for your subscription which has covered CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2017, and CC 2018. If on that same day you bought CS6 Master Collection it was retailing for $2,599. So you could use 5.5 year old software if you want. You'd saved, precisely, $1.

    Wait, I forgot about tax.

    That's funny, considering things are the otehr way around in the financial department and personally I consider C4D just as bad. It's just another app whose software quality has declined over the years and thatz doesn't get the necessary TLC and renovation of features.

    At least it would have no subscription and nobody would force me to pay for something I do not use. And I would not be concerned with the fact that cinema is as bad as after effects. C4D at least has its exports right. Since recently, AE always have a green drop-frame on the png sequence used in composition. Purge this, purge that,.. I must constantly be careful about that, instead the program does it automatically by itself. That's just the tip of the iceberg, I could go on and on with all the AE bugs.

    I'm hoping Blackmagic decides to make an AE competitor.  I bet they'd get things right!
