Sorry Wolf, crossposted.

Yes, you should check-out HITFILM for sure, best program I've seen in ages, you can do magic with it and the new release is even better.  There are Adobe fanatics holding onto their AfterEffects and CC subscription not reaslising that it's already gone the way of the Dodo thanks to HITFILM.  HITFILM is a true 3D in 2D compositor where the effects actually exist in 3D space (and some other techinical reason I can't remember).  You can do mindbending stuff with it, and like I said, you can even use it as a tool to give your Poser or iClone work a real Cinematic edge.

The next version will replace Premier as well as AfterEffects
They've added proper NLE features as well for the new version - all in the same product - bloody fantastic!
