As some of you may be aware, Combustion 2 was awarded a rare Creative Mac "Must Buy" rating in a review we did of Discreet's desktop compositing/effects/painting suite a while ago, and that was when the software would have set you back a cool five grand. These days, Combustion 2 can be had for just under a thousand dollars, and while the new price point would, in theory, merit a "Double Secret Must Buy" rating (if we had one), the lower cost probably means that there will be quite a few new Combustion users out there. And since it's probably not a stretch to assume that some of these users are coming to Combustion with some level of After Effects expertise, we thought it might be a nice gesture to offer a few tidbits to help out with the transition.

Have you ever been to one of those diners, maybe a greasy dive on the side of the highway, that has some variation of the time-honored slogan, "come for the (whatever you came for), stay for the (whatever they want you to stay for)" plastered on their roadside sign? You know, like, "come for the pie, stay for the down-home atmosphere," or "come for the chili, stay for the only bathrooms for 200 miles in any direction because you just had the chili." That particular bit of good ol' American kitsch kept running through my mind as I looked over Adobe's GoLive 6, but with a geeky twist: "Come for the visual site editing, stay for the QuickTime authoring." There are probably very few, if any, users who will end up buying GoLive 6 solely for it's built-in interactive QuickTime editor, but it's definitely a useful feature makes GoLive worth a serious look if you're in the market for a visual site editor.
