Here's some info on Flash vs. LiveMotion:



from pg. 54 of the September issue of Mac Addict - excerpted from a review

of LiveMotion:


"If you need to create heavily interactive and scripted interactive pages

[note from me: for example, drag-and-drop quizzes], Flash is still the way

to go, but if you're creating Web animation and have used After Effects,

LiveMotion is worth a look. It's still a better drawing and animation tool

than Flash, and it's an exciting first release."



However, the September issue of Macworld rates LiveMotion only 3.5 out of 5

stars:


"LiveMotion can't match Flash 4's advanced authoring features, and it lacks

Flash's vast constellation of third-party developer resources."



Sorry I'm not speaking from direct experience with LiveMotion, but at least

I read up on it - I recently considered whether to buy the software and

learn it, and I decided not to. I'll invest the time and money later if

LiveMotion gets better. But at least for now (and probably for a while yet),

Flash is the better of the two programs.


>From what I have read, Flash's timeline structure is supposedly more

laborious and time-consuming than LiveMotion's time-based structure (having

an action occur 3 seconds after the start of a clip, for example, rather

than in a particular keyframe), but I like Flash a lot so far! Go Flash go!
