That’s the beauty and the curse of having highly configurable windows in a GUI. It can work perfectly, or it can bite you in the *ss.

Now…..do you happen to have the first Stooges album?

If I were you, I’d start out doing my research on each album on *bay, to find out what they’re actually selling for. You can turn on the Completed Listings Only to see what people are asking, what didn’t sell, and what did sell.
Many dealers are highway robbers, but the reason they’re called “dealers” is they expect to make a profit from what you sell them. If they buy it for what it’s selling for on the open market, there’s not much in it for them. So any dealer who isn’t totally brainless is going to offer you about a third of what he thinks he can sell it for.
As for that first Blind Faith album, the music is great, but everyone I knew in my circle of friends had it (the “rare” cover), so there must have been thousands pressed. That doesn’t mean they still exist, of course. A lot of people tossed their LPs when the “grew up”. Now…if you had the original Mom’s Apple Pie album…

That certainly looks shady to me. The actual Sweets plugin is free, then you buy the various packs which work within it. And there’s a 7 day or 30 runs trial available for free, so check it out:
I tried the beta when it first came out, and found it useful enough that I bought it with a few of the design packs. Yes…it’s also something you should learn to do without a plugin, but it can save you time when you’re under the gun.

AE primarily works with bitmaps. Vector objects are mathematically defined, so there could not be any script or engine which could convert the AE images you create to vectors. The only thing you can do for people who request vector objects is to give them a very high-rez output, and maybe that will satisfy them (probably using them for print).
That said, there are a limited number of elements which can be output as vectors, but primarily they are elements which are already vectors. Here’s a rundown:

The shakiness can be corrected in AE using the Motion Tracker to stabilize the footage. As far as the movement and timing, that’s a lot tougher. The Warp Stabilizer (AE6 – you don’t say which version you’re using)claims to be able to fix uneven motion, but I haven’t tried it for slider stuff. It sounds as if you need a better slider, or better slider operator – a motorized slider will give you the consistency of motion you’re looking for, but if you’ve got audio going on, there’s sometimes a problem with motor noise.

Hi Jona –
I’m not an FCP7 user, but do you know about the ability to turn on FCP7 keyboard mapping. This will give you the shortcuts you’re used to, although I don’t know about the specific one you’re asking about. Here’s a good thread on it:

And here’s how to switch on those shortcut keys:

There was some discussion a while back, and I contacted HitFilm with my questions. The main one was there any structure to take AE plugins – there isn’t. I have too much money invested to jump ship to that one – although it looks as if it does have some cool capabilities. Here were the answers to my questions as of last June:

3D Stroke has some pretty sophisticated Repeater controls, which should allow you to do just what you want.

Are they speaking at the same time, or is there a pause between each speaking part? If there is a sufficient pause, you could make a second copy of the clip, one for male, one for female. Then just insert silence where you need it, alternating each track:
