is there an alternative to After Effects? i've been avoiding working in it for years (but have taken a few classes). i think this is the one killer skill that makes you stand out from all other designers.

I'm not sure if there is a full fledged replacement, but there might be more niche tools for specific workflows (for instance rotato.app/). After Effects is the one tool where anytime I figure out how to do something I completely forget it by the next time I open the app.
rotato.app
thanks, andy! rotato looks great. and that's been my experience with AE as well - i have been trying to "learn it" for years and i feel i just have to do it every day (like any other piece of software). it's at the core of so much (3D, promo video, etc).
