I watched some of the Shake 3.5 quick tours. Very VERY impressive. Talk about some real power. But it costs 3000 and another 1000 if you want to unprage to Shake 4.

Has anyone here used Shake, and is it worth it? Is there something else thats comprable (no pun intended) to Shake, particularly in Keying and Tracking, with not so hefty of a price tag?

Shake is a professional compositing application. If you produce movies or really complicated graphic sequences, I could see the need (and in that case $3K is cheap ;-)
