After Effects or Shake? Which one should i choose?

After Effects or Shake？ Which one should i choose？
I never use them before, now i want to choose one to learn.
Im a Mac fans, i do want to use the Mac family product, Shake, but a lot of my friends prefer After Effects.
What one is better? Why?
I just a film student, a beginner, which one is better in the video production area? Which one is better for me?
Help me make a decision!
Thanks!

if you said you were looking to create motion graphics and comps (bumpers, titling and ad's) for a video company or local television station, AE would be a really good match (Shake would likely require additional motion graphics help (like  Motion and perhaps even audio and edit applications as well.)
However, if you are a film student and intend to learn and create composite images for film (and video) then your choice is also as clear, absolutely, Shake.

  • Which One Should I Choose?

    When I launch Disk Utility, I'm asked to select a disk, volume, or image.  I'm enclosing a photo of my hard drives.  For instance, if I wanted to repair disk permissions on "Hard Disk," there appear to be two choices.  Choice one: Hard Disk icon.  Choice two: Hard Disk icon and number 74.5 GB ST380021A
    Which one should I choose to repair?
    The same choices are given to the other two hard drives that I have.  Two choices per hard disk?
    I use a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 (QuickSilver 2002); running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

    Niel is correct, for repairing permissions etc you can use ether...
    The upper icon (ST380021A) represents the device, the icon underneath it (Hard Disk) represents a partition, (you can divide the disk up into multiple partitions)
    If you select the device, actions will affect all partitions, (i.e. fix permissions on all partitions on that device) whereas selecting an individual partition will only affect that one partition.
    One thing that breaks this is the partition tab, which applies to the current device and all of it's partitions even if you are only selecting one if it's partitions.

  • Graphiccard - which one should i choose

    Hello!
    first of all: my english ist not very good and thats why i got problems to find the right place, where i can post my problem. if this forum is the wrong one, please put my topic in the right one or tell me, where i can drop it.
    here is the reason why i choose the illustrator forum:
    in the next few days i will buy a new laptop. i got already one. its a dell precision M90 and its like my mainlaptop. the new one will be a 13" vostro from dell.
    here is my question:
    i will use the 13" laptop in university for writting emails, internet, open office and this adobe-programms: photoshop, indesign, acrobat an ILLUSTRATOR.
    illustrator is the one which needs higher components as the other programms, right? so illustrator is like a benchmark for my problem:
    now i have to make a decision. which graphic-card should i take?
    this is the normal one. its already inclusive:
    Integrierte GMA X4500 HD-Grafik RED
    and this is the one which dell advises to me (for my needs):
    256-MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 9300M GS-Grafikkarte RED
    as i said, the 13" is not my mainworkingstation, so ist doesn't need very good components. i would like to open my adobedocuments - not more.
    is the first graphiccard good enough to open/show me my documents?
    again: sorry for my english, i hope you can understand me!;)
    wish you a nice day,
    lisa

    illustrator is the one which needs higher components as the other programms, right?
    No, Photoshop is, assuming you are speaking of CS4 and are concerned about hardware accelerated features like the soft zoom or 3D features in PS Extended. Those only work with NVidia or ATI cards. If you can live without those features, it doesn't matter which system you get. The only critical factor then becomes RAM - the more, the better. One word of warning on the way: Make sure, your laptop supports the minimum system requirements in terms of screen resolution. If not, you may not even be able to install the software let alone use it.

  • Duplicate "Apple Loops for Garage Band"...which ones should I keep?

    Hi. I've just started using GarageBand 3 (3.0.4), and noticed that I have duplicates of each and every instrument loop. Both Loops folders are located in my user:Library, one in "Audio" the other in "Application Support". Once you drill down to the actual "Loops" folder, the contents are exactly the same. Which one should I keep, which should I toss (it takes up a gig, which is why I want to toss one.)?

    You have to locate your Loops Index files (good chance you have two folders with that name), then start GB and drag the loops that you still want into the Loops window for re-indexing.
    Uh presumably after you have located the Index files and before you start GB, you are supposed to do something to the Index files (like delete them)? Maybe this was implied, but it was not explicit.

  • Multiple Apple ID's, which one should be main iCloud ID on iOS 5?

    Hey!  Seems like iCloud is a bit more complex to setup than I had thought it would be.  Here's the situation.  I have two Apple ID's.  One is my @me.com account that I just migrated to iCloud.  Second Apple ID is an @gmail.com account that I use for all of my iTunes purchases (also migrated to iCloud.  I know you can have multiple Apple ID's setup in iOS (by means of "Mail, Contacts, Calenders"), but there is only room for one account under the "iCloud" tab/setting under iOS settings.  Which one should be used here?  My @me.com, or the one I use for iTunes purchases? ...or does it even matter?  Just want to set everything up optimally from the start so I don't have to go back later and correct something.
    Thanks all for your assistance!

  • Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    Why do I have both photoshop cc and photoshop cc (64 bit) in my menu? Which one should I be using?

    The majority of the time using the 64 bit version is better, since you have more resources available (ram)
    If you need to run some older third party plugins that were only ever offered as 32 bit plugins, then the 32 bit version is the choice.
    Or if you happen to use a scanner with twain, then the 32 bit version.

  • I have a airport time capsule, an older airport extreme, and an airport express.  I want to hard wire my Mac Mini to the network.  What is the best arrangement of the devices?  which ones should be hard wired to optimize extending the network?

    I have a airport time capsule, an older airport extreme, and an older airport express.  I want to hard wire my Mac Mini to the network.  What is the best arrangement of the devices?  which ones should be hard wired to optimize extending the network?

    I am using TM Unifi with an ASUS RT-N18U Wi-Fi router.  I would like to know could I use Apple AirPort Time Capsule to extend (repeater, booster) my Wi-Fi to a part of the house where the Wi-Fi signal is poor
    Yes,, if you plan to connect the AirPort Time Capsule to the ASUS router using an Ethernet cable connection that will remain fixed and permanently installed at all times.
    No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Time Capsule connect wirelessly and extend the Asus WiFi signal, since it would not be compatible with another manufacturer's router for that purpose.
    Another way of saying the same thing here would be that if you want to extend the network wirelessly, it will take two Apple routers to do so

  • Which one should i download?

    Hi All,
    I am doing a project in Sourceforge.net for that project i need to install mail server.so i thought of downloading JAMES from apache website..
    there are so many files in the page http://james.apache.org/download.cgi i was a bit confused to download which file under the heading Apache JAMES 2.3.1 is the best available version
    there are files like
    * Binary (Unix TAR): james-binary-2.3.1.tar.gz [PGP]
    * Binary (ZIP Format): james-binary-2.3.1.zip [PGP]
    * Mailet SDK (Unix TAR): james-MailetSDK-2.3.1.tar.gz [PGP]
    * Mailet SDK (ZIP Format): james-MailetSDK-2.3.1.zip [PGP]
    * Source (Unix TAR): james-2.3.1-src.tar.gz [PGP]
    * Source (ZIP Format): james-2.3.1-src.zip [PGP]
    * Source with Avalon Phoenix binaries (Unix TAR): james-with-phoenix-2.3.1-src.tar.gz [PGP]
    * Source with Avalon Phoenix binaries (ZIP Format): james-with-phoenix-2.3.1-src.zip [PGP]
    * Other Binaries
    which one should i download and install to configure mail server..
    Please help me...
    Thanks in Advance,
    Ramesh Ale

    Unless you need the source you would normally download the binary distributions - either james-binary-2.3.1.tar.gz(Linux/Unix) or james-binary-2.3.1.zip (Windows). Since the two are essentially the same except for the compression method you can download either. It just depends on which one you can 'decompress'.
    Note: Though it is a couple of years since I installed and used James, it was my experience that some service providers do not accept emails sent through James. It seems there is some form of registration system in place.

    OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any antivirus. Furthermore, they will only slow down your computer. If you want more information, read > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg

  • How the process starts in XI and which one should start first ?

    How the process starts in XI and which one should start first ?

    XI flow :
    1.File picked by the adapter,at the A.E it converts to XML format.
    2.Generate a msg ID for the file and creates XI header to that file  using CPA cache. CPA cache will be having the    information about all the Control(address) data.
    3.Module processor
    4.The file goes to send queue by the adapter engine, that file will be  picked by the internal XI adapter and the file    will be forwarded to the Integration engine.
    5.Pipeline steps follow the Integration Engine.
      Receiver determination, Interface determination, Msg split, Msg  mapping, Logical routing, Receiver aggrement, call adapter
    6.The file will go to receive queue, which was taken and forwarded to the adapter engine.

  • Planning on selling 1 of the 10.5.6 DVDs, which one should I keep?

    I have 2 Mac OS X 10.5.6 DVDs, the gray retail one that came with my computer and one I had bought separately with the spacey background. Which one should I keep? And when Snow Leopard comes should I sell the remaining OS X DVD or keep it in case there are computer problems and I need to reinstall?

    I have 2 Mac OS X 10.5.6 DVDs, the gray retail one that came with my computer and one I had bought separately with the spacey background. Which one should I keep?
    The one which you got with the computer.
    And when Snow Leopard comes should I sell the remaining OS X DVD
    No. That DVD isn't allowed to be sold separately from the computer it came with and cannot be used to install the OS on a different Mac model.
