Hey everyone, I love this forum and would appreciate any comments and discussion you would have on the advantages/disadvantages of using Vegas 5 and AE together...
I currently use Vegas 5 and just recieved AE 5.5 production bundle from a friend. As I work through the program from a "how-to" book and feel around a bit on my own, I am wondering if AE can really do a better job in general for all sorts of special fx, compositing, track motion, and 3d then Vegas. I use multiple layer projects from Photoshop often and will likely need animation and sound added to these at some point. Audio is of major importance as well, as I do extensive audio work currently in vegas with multiple fx and tracks. I know AE is a great program often used by hollywood with much success (i.e. I just saw The Butterfly Effect --very cool), that's why I originally desired to learn it, but after feeling around a bit I am now beginning to wonder how far it's capabilities extend beyond vegas 5. My projects are vast in general, so my capabilities should be as well, I wonder if AE could be of more hassle than what it's worth (learning curve and import/exporting files all the time). I would apreciate any discussion and hearing your guy's thoughts and experiences on the topic of using these two great programs together (while still using photoshop) and if it is really advantageous.
Thanks for all your help,
Kevin
