Re: Best AE Plug-Ins?

The best plugins are the ones that do whatever it is that you do (roto, color, 3D, lighting, morphing, distortion, etc). What's best varies depending on your needs and your style. I would look at all of them and see what appeals to you and fits your situation best. If you can make it to one of the trade shows, where you can see them and talk with some of the developers, even better. For a good general workhorse package of plugins, I'm fond of the Boris continuum set. However, there are so many others that are just as good or better, that its hard to resist making a long list of them all. I'll say it again: it depends on your needs and your style
