Thanks for reading and please comment.

Are you using Windows Vista x64?
If so then I highly recommend Sony Vegas Pro 8.1 (64-bit version). However, there aren't very many plug-ins that work with the 64-bit version yet (probably why A.E. is still x86), but the 64-bit processing cuts the rendering time down BIG TIME!
I have used After Affects, but I never can get it to load my sound... which is annoying... soz anything I do in after affects winds back up in Vegas eventually to get the accompanying sound if possible.
Otherwise A.E is definitely more PRO than Vegas... but it is IMO harder to use. Soz it depends on what you want.
