this.
just about every editor will use adobe. google any effects and shit you want. way easy and fast than coming here.

Sony Vegas:
Pros - Easy to use, Fast to edit with (do edits quickly), Sony stabilize works pretty well to stabilize shaky footage (not as good as warp stabilizer in after effects, but it works)
Cons - basic effects, terrible color correction, masking is overly complicated

Adobe After Effects:
Pros: Can do pretty much ANYTHING with just one program, for larger projects (100GB+) the render preview makes it so that the edit doesn't "lag" and you can time transitions properly, easily utilize other adobe programs (export frames to photoshop, use premier and export a portion to after effects, then re import etc)
Cons: hard to learn how to use, time consuming

I don't really use premier that much so i cant really comment on it.

Each program does different things well. At the end of the day if i want a perfect final product and i have unlimited amounts of time i will use After Effects, if I want something quick - Vegas it is

One tip to using Vegas if not known already. DISABLE RESAMPLE. That is a must.

After Effects isnt an "editing" program in the same way Adobe Premiere and Final Cut is. I'd say stick with Premiere.

I'd say only use AE if you know what you're doing. I personally use AE cause it's more comfortable for me. Only use it if you've had like a few months of learning with it.

You use After Effects for making ski edits? Why wouldn't use do all your editing in Premiere and then do your SFX, VFX, sound, color, etc. in AE?

Yeah this is what I'm wondering...the timeline in AE just isn't designed for actual composition and development of full edits...theres a reason it's called "After" Effects, it's meant to be used as the last tool in post-production.

When spread across multiple monitors it becomes quite manageable. Especially if your timeline is on one monitor and the preview is on another.

I like the way that the layers are set up'in AE, how you are always working down. It makes it a lot easier to plan transitions that arent the same cookie cutter defaults that premier and vegas have. Especially for masking - AE masking (IMO) is much easier than vegas or premier.

Its a preference thing for everyone as well though. The one thing I will say for AE is if you are editing large projects (100GB+) in programs like vegas or premier it begins to lag and its really hard to sync new shots effectively. I always end up rendering out the "done"portion at the beginning to make the program more stable, then find out later than i need to modify it slightly. Whereas I can keep the whole edit in AE and never run into this problem

Its all personal preference. I don't edit as a job I do it because i enjoy it. I want the best final product possible and time isnt a factor. Thats why i primarily use AE
