I downloaded and read the manual .pdf. PtoM has some impressive features for the price point and is a great introductory way for people to get started and go to a certain point with this kind of work. Comparing it to AE wouldn't be fair, though. PtoM is aimed at a different target than me. PtoM lacks several things that I use as a foundation for our movies; masking and anchoring, just to name two. It has a limited version of velocity ramps, not the real thing. If it had Flash output, I'd consider using it in conjunction w/ AE, not a replacement. That user who is doing 10-30 slideshows per week is likely putting together basic pushes and zooms. Not enough hours in a week to do more. He's not running multiple movies from inside a separate movie of a photographer's lens (from "NYC21"). That's a day-long project in itself. More than most people want to fiddle with. They'd probably rather just watch it than make it. <g> "So you gonna try Photo To Movie? Seems vastly improved over the beta we spoke of, a long while back. >>"I create 10 to 30 slideshows a week, and that number will only go up. I had been using Final Cut or After Effects I wasn't happy with those options. Final Cut gives little control over interpolating keyframes. After Effects takes forever to render."<<"
