Vegas and premiere are different mainly when It comes to interface, basicly the same though. I prefer vegas. After effects is just that...for adding effects afterwards.

Wow, and people were telling me to move on to Premiere since they said it's better. i dont like being a effect whore so i think i will stick to Vegas. But what about After Effects, is it better than Vegas?

You can't compare Vegas and After Effects, since their primary use is different. Yes, you can edit completely in AE, but it would be like knitting with your feet: an unnecessary trouble. After Effects is what you put your completed video in afterwards to add special effects that your editing program can't do on its own.

I see, AE is mostly used for animation and what not. I see, if you want to animate some parts of your AMV or w.e AE is your friend. i see, its like doing final touches to the video.

What do you mean by putting your completed vid afterwards?

I'm kind of confused as to how you would add a shatter effect (or something) when the vid is completed?

^ Obviously it would be a case by case basis. Some things would need to be done to individual clips in AE, whereas other touchups could be added to a final render.

Point is, Vegas/Premiere is for your non-linear editing and AE is for your more complex effects. (Primarily. A whole video could be done in AE, but that's rather masochistic.)

^ If you were to add an effect to the completed vid, would you make the completed vid lossless, make it to smaller and then after the effect make it lossless again and compress it again??

Sorry if it seems like a dumb question and for the overuse of 'again'.

Well, if you use Premiere, you then can just import your Premiere project file into After Effects or export an EDL and put that into AE and it will keep all your cuts. For Vegas, you'd have to create lossless most likely, but I wouldn't recommend it, because it'd be kind of hard to work around.(Doesn't keep your cuts, obviously) I don't know if it's possible but possibly when you're working on the video in Vegas, you could try and copy and paste the clip into AE, add the effects and copy and paste it back to Vegas. I think that could be done. Idunno.

Yes, you would always want too keep everything as lossless until you made your final encode for distribution, whether you were keeping individual clips as lossless or a full render.

Doubt that, in order to do it, the programs need to be able to "talk" with each other. Things like those can be done only with adobe programs that come from the same master collection or production premium. If you buy the programs as standalones, some of the features will lack, most importantly you won't be able to use the dynamic link feature between premiere and after effects, which is oftentimes useful.
