Hello,
I was just wondering how After Effects compares to Final Cut Pro. Im thinking about getting an editing program and wanted to know the pros and cons of both so i can get the most bang for my buck.
Thanks

they are the softwares included in different categories. AE is a compositing, FCP is a video editing software.. May be you should compare FCP with premiere.. but in my opinion, FCP is more powerful than premiere. If you want to compose sequences, you may choose AE. but if it is about budget, you can buy adobe’s production premium. 7 softwares are included that package, AE-premiere-PS-Ai-flash-encore-sound booth.. and it’s only 1699$, FCP is 999$.. so it is important what you want to do, after that you can decide clearly..

After Effects and Final Cut Pro are completely different applications.
Final Cut Pro is used for telling the story. It is capable of wonderful effects and compositing and has an array of plug-ins that can enhance the visuals, but it pales in comparison to AE.
After Effects is used for making exciting and stunning visuals, and completely dominates over Final Cut Pro in this sense. AE is capable of a vast array of effects, and is limited by your imagination. However, you would not use After Effects to edit together a story… that is Final Cut’s domaine.
Hope that helps.
James.
