I wouldn't switch, but I wouldn't ignore what other programs have to offer. The guys I've run into here that are doing this for a living and usually in some video production or industrial application, use many programs for different things. No one program gets an overall endorsement from them. If Lightwave hadn't been bundled with all those Video Toasters, who could say what program we'd be talking about at the Animation SIGs here in Detroit. After all, these are Amiga owners and Playmation (I think it was called Animation Apprentice then) debuted on the Amiga…so did Imagine and I guess a few others. I bought a PC so that's where my interests are at this point. They are thinking of going the PC route if nobody of strength picks up the Amiga chipset. If your money is tight, I'd wait and see what the new version of A:M has. Steve has dropped hints and so has Martin in his "Minutes". All I know is what some people have said after their jaws dropped while watching the Playmation video. They are amazed at the ease and the power of the program and how much quicker Windows makes things with multi-tasking. Kevin P.S. I can't remember all the hints Steve dropped, but Martin has been working on an interface allowing access to all areas more easy. Let's hope they've been working on some effects. I know Martin stated if there was a strong desire among us users for some plug-ins, we should call them and tell them which ones we wanted. I have Kai Power Tools on order, if it works for me, I'll be calling!
