I HATE After Effects
 

I'm trying to apply some Curve corrections as well as some color balance adjustments to a video I just made. I got the results I wanted (I guess), and I exported it so I could do further editing in Premier. Now, I feel like I've tried everything possible...but for some freaking reason, it will either export it at 12 fps, or with less colors so I get layer shading of some kind, or it flickers and jitters and just looks bad. Why can't I export it so it plays like it does normally, just with the change in look? RARRRRHHH

check your export settings, when you put "make movie" be sure that you are using the DV settings.

Am I supposed to be using "Make movie" rendering? Or should I be doing "Export?"

Ah!

make movie

You must to configure the output option you want...Read the manual about.

There is nothing for the same price that competes with After Effects. It is the King Of The Hill in that class of application.

Combustion...
 

for the same price (compare it to the production bundle) actually less you get much more but with a steeper learning curve...
