Version: Adobe After Effects 6.5
"I'm in love with this program!"
Pros: Adobe After Effects, to me, is one element in the Adobe video "trifecta", the others being Premiere and Photoshop (nvm what version it is). The fact is, After Effects' capability of working in 2D and 3D space presents hundreds if not thousands of possibilites television and movie producers can use to create professional CG effects. For example, did you know you can use the Radio Waves filter in version 6.5 to create smoke?
If you decide to acquire AE, get Photoshop as well. If you import a Photoshop image that you want to change and have a version of Photoshop on your computer, AE will allow you to edit the PSD image in Photoshop itself. Neat huh?
Cons: The con is, well, 3D space. Even with the CC filters, any 3D effect you implement on After Effects is taken as a "flat", not abiding by the laws of three-dimensional physics. It's a drawback that can make AE look overrated for its price.
