Basically AE can be useful if you have edited your proyect in another software. In my coming soon amv, my akross amv, I will use some techniques I havent watched yet into an amv. In PsyK-on I decided to change the storyline of K-on and turning it into something darker.

AE is a compositing and effect application. It's not an editing application and does not work like one, not even a little bit. It's a whole different way of thinking. Just use premiere and import the file project to AE when your done.

I think it boils down to personal preference on how you like to get things done. AE does have a trimmer for you to cut clips and bring them onto your timeline similar to premiere and such. The only beef I have with using AE to do editing is having to RAM preview to hear my audio. When you're timing things in an AMV, you sometimes have to replay same section multiple times and move a clip over a frame or two and then ram preview again and then decide you want to move it back and then ram preview to check it out again.

Honestly, try it both ways. Try editing a project in AE alone and then try doing it in premiere. While it may seem a little wonky to use two programs for one project, in the newer versions of AE and premiere, it works out pretty well.

So just using AE would slow down some of the more simple tasks that you'd otherwise do in a traditional NLE. I'd highly recommend making use of Adobe's bridge features and/or simply making a clean cut in Premiere and then importing the Premiere project file into AE. As AE will read it as a composition with all your cut and layers intact. Thus avoiding the tedious stuff that AE isn't meant for and picking up right where you left off from Premiere.

Bridge and Importing like this vastly increases productivity. So while strictly AE editing isn't out of the realm of possibilities, I'd recommend against it if you have the option to use methods stated above.


This.

As for videos created using only AE. The first one which comes to mind would be this one.

I'd also like to add. That I have indeed tried to produce videos using AE only. Though, only to end up with short video segments (betas) and the like.
So as far as it goes for me, I can put together segments using the program, but as far as properly putting things together in cases such as montages or just long-term editing goes, I'll keep myself to using Sony Vegas/Adobe Premier.

Didnt know you also had Premiere.

For me I have been able to complete a full amv in AE, but whether it's me or in AE it takes me more time to think carefully about the making, compared to Sony Vegas where I make amvs in a quick way
