sit at barnes and noble and read $40 books. ho ho ho.
yes, i would certainly not edit, say, a sitcom in After Effects. But I have edited together smaller like 5-minute stuff, but that doesn't mean it's the better choice, just the interface i'm most comfortable with.
an example workflow might be to stitch together footage of, say, an interview in Premiere, then switch to AE to make a posh little title animation of the person's name for the lower left corner, render w/ an alpha channel, and bring that new clip back into Premiere to plop on top of the edited video. I know the Creative Suites are integrating everything together more, so maybe even the rendering step isn't necessary anymore. that's beyond my skillset. But, for another instance, all that Arrested Development title stuff I'm doing for that documentary, I am delivering via email, just sending the dude quicktime movs to drop into final cut pro or whatever.
