Black Magic Design bought eyeon.
With eyeon it bought Fusion.

Now you can get Fusion 7 for free!!!
A high professional node based compositing program for free.Almost crazy.

Not so much limitations for a free version.
No Network rendering and 3D stereo stuff and some high advanced features.
That's it.
Fusion7 Studio is now down to 999$

This is a canon blast in "The Foundry" direction. Never played with Nuke, all say it's the best, but hell, that's an expensive piece of soft.

Re: What's your favourite LowBudget, Freeware, OpenSource Pr

I will take a look too in the next time, they are booth alternatives for AFTER EFFECTS? And how hard is to learn these programs? ;)

And in 3D, I have to forget to say, that I'm a Silo fan, a little bit disapointed of Nevercenter, because this very sweet subdivision modelling-tool but very sadly silo-users did haven't had an update for years. Since some months there is an update 2.3 :ob - hope that silo wil have a nice future too? ;)

And 2D?
Ohh, I have now MISCHIEF too, I took it for 25,-USD :ob - very great for LINEWORKS and in future for more - good companion for verve, it works ver fine with LAZY NEZUMI too :ob

And next days I will have a nice GTX 970 I hope ... if dear Taron made a nice Update of Verve until CHRISTMAS it would be so fine ... a very great start for 2015 :ob :ob :ob :ob
