npub10zmx7gk5ymh7kyq725wsdq4rqemwwdm8h7hms2kh2dyzchkf4y7sxjzrpx (npub10zm…zrpx) and that is part of the reason, if users needing after effects aren't willing to spend time looking for alternatives. If they were, I'm sure they'd be presented with many, and some as good or better. A quick search for after effects (your example), would present at least 5 alternatives; Natron, Blender, Nuke, Fusion, Synfig Studio. Of course each will probably require some learning, but not too much if the apps are mostly equivalent.

I agree, ultimately; use what is right for you.
