Customer Reviews
Reviewed on 2007-08-13crash prone The latest from Adobe is even more prone to crashes than v.7.
It also is much more sluggish and seems to take more time to render animations. It still doesn't take full advantage of memory and processing power from the workstation.
This version merely offers a couple of gimmicky new tools and new, albeit boring packaging.
Let's hope that "Motion," Apples competing animation application will quickly improve and keep Adobe from getting lazy.
Otherwise animators and broadcast designers are stuck with whatever crap Adobe dumps on us. They control the market.
