Thanks everyone for your kind suggestions.
My issues with Animatte and Avid Blur -- or Boris Lens Blur (for that matter) -- have always been that they both are somewhat handicapped by Animatte's limited feathering tool. Can you get close? Yeah, but you can't get all the way there.
@Alan: Thanks for your Magic Bullet recommendation -- I'll give the demo a shot.
@Terence: Thanks for the video link.
@Benjamin: Thanks for the Sapphire recommendation -- I wish that product were a bit less expensive -- as reconciling its cost is a bit harder considering my typical workflow.
