How much ever I might be annoyed with Adobe right now, I am still amazed at how good After Effects 7 is. This is easily my favorite Adobe software. Every other user interface by Adobe sucks in my book (Lightroom is impressive but I don't use it). I spent the weekend pulling my hair out while working with Illustrator. Anyways, After Effects 7 made the Annual Editor's Choice awards from Macworld. For the full list, check here.Some of the other choices included iMac Core 2 Duo, Aperture 1.5, Fission 1.1, iLife '06, Mac Pro,, MacBook, Panasonic's DV camera PV-GS500, Visual Hub, G-Drive and YouTube.
Also: We will have our annual list of Best & Worst list coming up within the next week, keep an eye out for it.
1. illustrator is a frustrating program, no doubt about that...I use after effects 7 every day of my life and it is very powerful, and where it ends its power is extended by third party plugins....its really good stuff!!
