As a Motion Designer who is desperately waiting for an alternative to After Effects for years now, I would be happy to see Serif to come up with one. I know that many Motion Designers would appreciate it and participate in development. After Effects lost track for a long time and because of being the only one on the vector based animation market it has gotten lazy. Maybe have a talk with the development department of "Natron Compositor" who have already achieved a lot when it comes to the compositing tools My suggestions: - Open Color Management - 32bit Workflow - Nodebased Workflow and Timeline based Workflow - An open scripting environment to let the community write additional effects and scripts. Python or Javascript i.e. like Blender or Nuke - Maybe but only maybe :) a 3D-environment instead of 2.5D like in After Effects. But I would even accept if that wasn't part of it. The main aspect is more important. - Connection to Blender - EXR capability - Cryptomatte capability - The vector possibilies like in after effects. The form layer is great tool for 2d animations. Not everything is bad in After Effects :) - MP4 and GIF export. Adobe threw that out. - And internal ffmpeg functionality So in general as I experience our market there is a demand for an alternative to After effects. Konst
