Apple Motion 2 & Shake

    I have a few questions still regarding Apple Motion & Shake.... 

   Will Apple Motion 2 work with Final Cut Express?  I'd imagine I'd just have to do a lot of saving and importing as the work flow may not be ideal.  But for an editor on a budget, I would think that this could work out just fine.

    Also, what exactly is Shake?  I hear about it's integration with Final Cut Studio, but I still have no idea exactly what it does...

    I use Shake extensively. Don't be pulled in to the trap of thinking Motion AE and Shake should be compared to each-other. They are different things all together. They can all do the same things (with some work), but shouldn't.

   Motion:

   • Motion/moving Grafix/images/video around
   • Fast/quick results

   Use it for:

   • Simple impressive looking Intros
   • Titles
   • Lower Thirds
   • Manipulating moving grafix

    

    Shake:

   • Compositing
   • Keying
   • Cleaning up a video and color correction
   • Speed (compared to other composting apps)

   Use it for:

   • Green and blue screen
   • Set extensions
   • Advanced Compositing
   • Advanced Intros and graphic scenes
   • General VFX

    Oh, and add Fancy Transitions to the Motion list.
