I like vegas workflow very much, but I still have to use after effects for some simple things like for example vegas seems to not have all the blending modes as found in AE is there some kind of work around ? I'm not too sure if I overlooked vegas ability to support AE plugins or not? Is it a wise choice to replace ae (100%) with vegas?

The fact that Vegas includes some functions similar to AE is really a bonus - Vegas is a Non-Linear Editor, and its Adobe equivalent is Premiere.
AE is a specialist compositing/special effects program and will therefore always have functions beyond what an editing program can do.

Do any of you know of any good compositing programs other then after effects that cost preferably under $500 US ? That have almost all the features that AE has I rarly (at the moment) work with alot of video so I don't need all the bells and whistles AE has, why I was hoping some things that are missing (minor for what I need) could be added in vegas but that seems unlikley. If there really is no other option I guess i'll have to settle for upgrading to AE 7.o.

I will agree vegas is very close to a compositing program, yet has alot of functionality like a editor. The main problem I am having is not all of the blending modes found in AE are in vegas like screen, overlay, multiple (I think multiply is in there) if these could be some what adding I possible could completly dump after effects (which I would love to do) if someone could make a script or something. Speaking of which are there any places which or on this forum where people code for vegas?
