I have often wondered what can be done in AE?

What do you use it for.....In video terms

If you liked Combustion, then go for it :

Yes I Think I have to buy it, But I really like the rotscoping feature in mirage, its ease of use..

To Cath...

The main use of a compositing tool is special effects..
Keying, rotoscoping, particle effects and so on the list goes on, you can also do animation, 3D, 2D, and text effects, relighting a scene...If I have missed something, sorry :)

Who uses AE? Well most of the industry.

You see AE used everyday in national commercials, news programming and others.

Combustion has much less of a user base than AE.

AE shops:

I have Combustion as well, and I like the interface of Combustion.
AE has more users but most of AE plugins are compatible with C as well.
