After Effects

Can somebody give me an example of what they would use After Effects for in an AMV. I havent even needed to learn After Effects to do anything. Should I?

If you can do everything that you want to do in whatever software you are currently using, then you dont need after effects. If you ever said to yourself, "boy, I wish I could do *insert complex effect here*, but this lame-o video editing prog wont let me!" Then you might have a use for after effects ;p
Many of the tracks on the DDR Project 2 used After Effects. If you've ever seen a Japanese MAD to Kanon or Air, those use After Effects.

Most of what I've seen done in AE for AMVs can actually be done with Premiere and Photoshop fairly easily. If you have Photoshop I suggest learning about Actions and Batch commands first, and then if you have something that can't be done with those tools look to getting AE.
