    Seasons Greetings-
    I am a newbie here, and a lowly starving artist to boot… just asking for some opinions about the last few versions of AE; I am going to start learning the program, for animating my Painter and Photoshop artwork. Since I am watching my moolah for a few months, do I need to buy the newest version (most money), or is there not that much difference from the newest to a few earlier versions (less money)? I would really appreciate any input from people who’ve used the last few versions, and THANKS!!! Marty Moose

    You can go as far back as v6.0 without missing out on too much, at least in terms of learning the software. v7.0 introduced a totally new interface and rearranged the menus somewhat, but nothing you won’t get used to later on.

    Try finding a copy of v6.0, but make absolutely certain that it is a new/unopened copy that you can register with Adobe in your name. This way, should you decide to move up to the new version you can buy an upgrade version for only $299 rather than paying the full price of $999. There are a lot of scammers on Ebay so be very careful and read the posts very, very carefully should you decide to go that route.

    Thanks Brendan; by the way, I forgot to ask if I go back as far as AE6, do you know if it will work with Vista? Thanx bud- Marty Moose
