after effects vs final cut pro?

Is comparing adobe after effects to final cut pro, a fair comparison? What I mean is, looking around on youtube, I see better... effets on projects made with projects on after effects. now, I love FCP for editing, does adobe give a better program thats can do effects. I am looking to make my videos look more profesional, and I notice after effects has effects built into its system to do effects.

After looking at this vidoe, im sold, final cut pro can not do this that quick.

apple is more prosumer, while adobe is PRO

This statement would be hilarious in some circumstances.
In most others it's just tragically misinformed.

Of course, and if you're going to put HOURS AND DAYS into learning something, you really want the best. I mean, some of us have been doing this for 20 or more years, but HOURS AND DAYS, now THAT is a commitment.

I would imagine that someone spending HOURS AND DAYS perfecting their craft should easily be able to create a movie right on par with Avatar, right? I mean, to put in that kind of time really shows dedication.

And Adobe has some great user forums that you might wish to join.

Go there and post some questions about the Production bundle.

Dear piff aroni,
I really don't think there is much in this thread that pertains to the forums use, but I do think you are selling your professionalism short. I believe it would be in your best interest to view and try out the products here.
