> Apple killed Shake, which was an industry standard at one point. Sure, and this might be skewed by hindsight because they did make new releases for a handful of years, but it was an acquahire to develop Aperture and other color tools for Final Cut Pro. Small shops use After Effects on Windows, medium shops used Shake on Windows, and large shops used Shake in Linux. Because of hardware costs you'll be very hard-pressed to get medium or large shops to use macOS. I also don't see Apple investing/competing with the big transitions that happened in CG over the next 5 years; 64bit, 4k/8k, and stereo. Apple had special deals where they offered Shake's source code when it was discontinued and a few studios clung on and tried valiantly to accommodate [1] [1] https://www.studiodaily.com/2008/07/delivering-8k-vfx-shots-for-the-dark-knight/ https://www.studiodaily.com/2008/07/delivering-8k-vfx-shots-...
