Apple don't intend Motion to be an After Effects killer. It can't do everything AF can. At least not right now. And impressive is running Final Cut and motion on the new 30" Display. I just showed this at the DigitalLife show in NYC this weekend. I just wish I knew more about using Motion to have made the editing/effects aspects more impressive.

I'm pretty sure you can get 3D acceleration with the latest version(s) of After Effects. At least some show antendees said that was so. We were also showing Premier running on a PCIe system with our new mainstream X600 AIW card.
