I know, I should complain less and commit more to the usability of Blender (I
had some part in the AfterFX exporter though :) ).
But for that to happen, I would need to interact with Blender more often. Which
I would if I could use it in production. Which I can't, because I can't get
stuff in initially. It's a vicious circle...
