Apple just needs to do a Photochop killer and put Adobe to rest.
nooooooooooooo, they would make it mac only (only bad for us windows guys) I want a mac, you already have so much more than windows that a ps killer would just be rubbing it in.
about today, it all looks sweet, but just imagine the render time to do a film effect on 10 minutes of hd video if you didnt have a rack of dedicated xserves next to your workstation.

You have to figure that only professionals are working in HD who are more then happy to buy a rack of Xserves to cut video editing times. Your going to have to wait for iMotion
Photoshop is really the crown jewels of the graphic industry. Plain and simple. Apple seems to be competing with Adobe on many video products, and doing very well, showing off their talent as a software company! It doesn't seem that they have tried to compete in the graphics market, but it would certainly be interested to see Apples take on photoshop, illustrator, and indesign after looking at their efforts in video.

Honestly, I don't think they will. These announcements today made it very clear that Apple is taking video, and leaving DTP for Adobe.
will iMotion do the same type of thing that after eddects does? and will it work with fce? because if it could, every "weekend warrior" type of dv geek could cut truely pro quality (or better than pro if you have ever seen an insight cable production) this could mean that a wedding videographer would have the same graphics potentail as a local broadcast station without the obligotory pain caused by useing any adobe video app

Actuall, motion could be too professional to put into an iApp. Perhaps Motion Express? It wouldn't do everything that AE does, because it's not that program, and it's a watered down version of a professional app. Lets wait till it exists to talk about it further, ok?

actualy, I thought that it was called imotion, , I read it wrong. but an express tool would be sweet for say $99.00
thus I as a college student in the fall, could get a compleate video rig for < $2000
"iMotion" could eventually be a consumer app that would add animation and other additional fancy transitions and fades to the iApp family suite to use with iMovie and iDVD. We'll see.

True, but at $299 for Motion... who cares? No, actually if they just added a few compositing features and keyframing to iMovie... they wouldn't need to.

agreed, if you are in a position where you need or want motion graphics like wedding/speacial event videographers, heck anyone who wants to make $ on video at all, 300$ for this is a drop in the bucket, and even schools could use this as a tool to teach motion graphics and basic compositing to high school kids and they wont have to break the bank.
tech is amazing, 10 years ago i was in a $200,000+ editing room and the "motion" graphics were pitifull, like 2 layers and unless you wanted to spend weeks rendering, you better keep it simple and now I with a GL2 a G5 and 1500$ of software i can cutedit and composit circles around that setup and have enough $ left over to buy a house and a car
