Automatic Duck Inc. created tools to collaborate between After Effects, AVID, Final Cut - thus obviously for Windows and OSX.
They decided to discontinue their productline and give away the latest versions for free.
The developer team moved to adobe, improving premiere pro and can´t maintain their tools anymore, so they give them away for free. The former price was around 500 Euro a piece.
We got After Effects and AVID in our studio, so this is good news, might be useful for one or the other freelancer or small, or even big studio
