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?
