"it is usually rarely about passes"
editing myself, of course it is ALSO about passes, but considering motion
graphics which is quite a big field where after effects is so widely used,
thats where you usually need it, and where something like that would be
QUITE handy. i had a job a while ago where i was supposed to deliver some
3d elements where they would add text and so on in AE, and they were so
used to getting all the data straight out of cinema with a single click
while i was actually struggling to make it work.
