I don't know if Aura understands Open-EXR. The box I have it on is in about 50 pieces right now, I am upgrading the cooling system at the moment. I will see what I find out when I put it all back together. It is a component of the new Video Toaster and fairly powerful for the price. I'm a grad student, a self described "film hacker." I would love to be using Digital Fusion or one of the bigger Discrete products if I could afford them.

Does Aura understand open exr and is it float colorspace?
I use Digital Fusion, a compositor with built in roto paint, tracking, masking, realtime preview, etc. I works in float colorspace, and understands exr and hdr.

I don't understand why someone would use Photoshop to do frame by frame
manipulations. There is no onion skinning available so how do you see what
is ahead and behind the current frame without changing those massive 4k or
8k layers? What about something like NewTek's Aura Video Paint? It's
resolution independent, uses onion skinning, and was designed with 2D
animation and 3D integration in mind from the ground up.

Just my $0.25

The Windows and OSX versions
are not stable as suggested
by the Cinepaint web site,
lots of bugs.  Stability,
plus the robust tools of
Photoshop make it the editor
of choice for me, retaining
the quality remains the question.
