Adobe After Effects 7: Now with Flash export!
According to MacCentral, Adobe has just released Adobe After Effects 7, which now, thanks to the recent acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe, has an export to Flash feature. The software comes in two flavors: Professional (or as I like to call it, $999 is outrageously expensive) and Standard (or $699 is still too much). It comes in both Macintosh and Windows versions, although there is no mention yet of an Intel-based Macintosh version.I've always wanted After Effects, and I've never been able to afford it. *sigh*
