OK after watching the first of those tutes I've decided AE is NOT for me

Will watch the asteroid chase as well, but that first one makes AE look as complicated as I remember it, I think what I'm after is the organic feel node based compositors appear to have. The drag and drop of things onto one another rather than complex menu sets???? but thats just my opinion from watching others use them, we'll see.. Found a trial version of fusion.. So before I fork out the cash I get 30 days to discover I cant work that out either.
