Yeah, that's my real concern. Am I going to have to end up getting Photoshop anyway at some point? (self-directed question) I've also heard good things about After Effects--now that may be more expensive, but is there a Sony equivalent for things like Photoshop and After Effects? One thing that would be nice about Vegas is that I'm already using Sound Forge for music editing, so they could work together more easily, I would assume.

Both options look very intriguing. Does anyone else have any comments?
