Thanks for the info about newer programs. I am just a casual user, doing
projects just for fun. I do use Commotion for rotoscoping (and other
things). At this point, I really don't want to spend a lot of money to buy a
bunch of new programs when what I already have does just fine for my needs
(I'll already be spending more than I should for the new computer!). At this
point, I am leaning towards sticking with XP because I know that Commotion
(and the other programs that I currently am using) work just fine. But if I
know that it can work on Vista, then I have a lot more options open to me as
I shop around. I was hoping to find someone out there who uses Commotion who
has already tried it with Vista and can tell me "yes" or "no." Any
suggestions for other places I can post this question? Thanks again for your
reply.
