Still-Image / Manga AMV, Best Programs to Use?

[Koshi-kun]

I've had good ideas for series that are only in manga form... anyway, what are the recommended programs for still-image manipulation/editting? And guides....? (I tried to poke around a search but no luck...)

For Fate Against Will, I used Photoshop and After Effects. Photoshop to crop out the panels I needed and make sure that the parts that needed to be transparent were transparent, and After Effects to place them, move them, etc. You could *probably* use Premiere (or other such NLEs, like Vegas) to do the same things, but AFX just gives the fine-tuned control to you right there.

Ah thanks that sounds good I had played around in Premiere a bit but yea, it seemed I couldn't get the fine tuning I wanted... thanks!
