Before Szymon sold MotionVFX (or left or whatever), I would've said each and every of their options was worth considering. It changed after that. Then subscriptions showed up. Still a great resource, I just feel that they lost something important back at that point.

@tweak Honestly, i was a huge fan of MotionVFX back then when Szymon was at the wheel. Bought tons of plugins (in the 1,000 of $), just because of the enthusiasm and dares.

O2 was the last plugin i’ve got. They sold out, moved to subscription, produced lots of bland “content”, and lost me.

I guess it’s a logical fit for the uninspired FCP’s Design Studio. Happy for the team but a bit sad of what it has become. I am sure that Szymon is too.

@tweak captures my sentiment too. I’m not sure who their subscription is aimed at exactly, but I don’t feel it’s aimed at me, and I’m not confident building my business on it.

I feel that even more strongly now that Apple is in charge. My relationship with Apple as a “Pro User” for the past decade+ has been one spent fearing they’re going to EOL the software I rely on to run my business. I really don’t want to rely on Apple for anything that isn’t a core product/service for them.
