Hi there,

According to 2-pop.com yesterday and maccentral.com today, discreet have announced Combustion 3 - their desktop super-compoer now with a few NLE capabilities to do basic editing.

Supposedly aimed squarely at the AE + FCP user on Mac on a G5, according to 2-pop. And perhaps the AE + Premiere user for PC folk. Win2k and XP versions out fall 2003, whenever that is. Mac OSX to follow in early 2004. Perhaps by the first Macworld keynote of the year.

If it's coming out next year, I'll stay with the prediction that Apple will come out with Shake lite for Mac that can use AE filters.

Compositing and editing in one place and all for 1000$. Sounds to good to be real.

it's rather single track editing for quick things, nothing to beat a real editor.

Ehhh 1000$...? Isn't it about 3-4000$? C2 was that price here anyways

It went down with 2 and 2.1 but when I saw this price, I thought it was a typo. Considering AE, it makes sense to lower it to that and probably even more when the bundles comes out.

They might be testing the waters for a desktop version of Fire and Smoke like Combustion is for FFI.

just went to the C*3 Demonstration and it looks pretty promising. They were saying around $1300.00 canadian at the location for the 2.1 and free upgrade to 3 when released officially.

some nice new bells and whistles indeed!
