https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5kXCDOpf0c I have to admit I have started using DaVinci Resolve for more and more difficult Green Screen shots, as it is just so powerful with so many different tools.

A license is $89 for a basic license and only corrective updates, or $149 with Premium with 1 year free maintenance, learning center, and $69 a year maintenance after the first year. I have not given this a try but would like to. I really loved node based compositing in Shake, and then in DaVinci Resolve, so the ability to have it in after effects is amazing.

Not only is this compositing software but it can also render and manipulate high quality 3D assets. I would love to play with this a bit, but it is not inexpensive at $1426 for a full license, or $599 a year or $59 a month,
Hitfilm has released Hitfilm 4 Express for free. It is a simple editing program in the style of Premiere Pro, AVID and Final Cut Pro 7 (though not as full featured), with a full 3D compositing program built in. You can also buy individual expansion packs, or a full pro version for $399, which includes a Boris titling tool, and Mocha Camera Tracking as well almost 140 FX as plug ins for use in other programs!I can't believe I didn't even know about this program, and am looking forward to giving it a try. Would love the Pro version to try some gunshot fx, that are rendered on the fly, so every one can be different. And for a fast full 3D compositor to be this cheap is impressive.
