So it seems Autodesk has something big and new for Smoke that will be announced at NAB next week. This is utter speculation, but an inexpensive version of Smoke, say $1000 or even $1500 for a crossgrade would be huge, as many editors fresh from losing FCP 7 would give Smoke with it’s amazing compositing tools a try.
I am excited to hear what happens here.
An update at CreativeCOW.net has Walter Biscardi saying that the new smoke is amazing! I can’t wait!
