Actually I totally disagree with the first part. =A0Granted I live and work= in a different market on the other side of the world, and everyone's e= xperiences are different, so I won't be offended by anyone who disagree= s with me. =A0But I see that After Effects serves (and dominates) two marke= ts- motion graphics design and corporate video compositing.

Nuke is a different product that serves (and dominates) a different market = - feature film post production. =A0No feature film company that uses Nuke w= ill switch to After Effects no matter what features are added. =A0No corpor= ate video production company will switch to Nuke and lose their established= workflows, project histories, pool of freelancers, and profit margins. =A0= And no-one will ever do motion graphics design in Nuke...

If you think about how much resistance you see on this forum to switching f= rom one OS to another (ie from Mac to Windows) even though you can run Afte= r Effects on both, then the resistance to switching to a whole new applicat= ion, and workflow, will be much higher. =A0Considering the huge cost and ef= fort to change to a totally new workflow using a different application, I d= on't see the dominance of After Effects or Nuke changing in the markets= they currently serve. =A0The industry standards are there - Nuke for featu= re films, After Effects for corporates and motion graphics.

There are small areas of overlap but I don't see the overlap to be big = enough for them to be classed as competitors.

Adobe's resources are therefore split between the needs of two markets = - motion graphics designers and corporate video producers. =A0If they added= a nodal compositing feature, or if they did something really stupid like a= dding Linux support, then they're simply diverting resources from the m= arkets they serve really well into areas that have no potential except to a= lienate and frustrate existing users by reducing the features and improveme= nts to areas that matter.
