What would be a good plug-ins to try? I've from using Final Cut Pro back on the powerBook G4 I got spoiled by motion and livetext (wow old!) So my past workings with Vegas 9 kinda left me disappointed on how lacking vegas felt.

Most of the work will be for youtube on my channel.

You can't go wrong with Magic Bullet Looks.

Plenty of good to go, ready made, templates. And also the facility to create your 'own' look.

Thanks James, I will give that a look hopefully I can get some good ideas!

[QUOTE=Most of the work will be for youtube on my channel.[/QUOTE]

doesn't really help much knowing what you're producing does it?

does your work require lots of text? (pro titler 2, heroglyph)

grading? (looks)

fx? (boris, genarts, newblue)

correcting? (fbmn)

complicated timelines? (excalibur, ultimate, vegesarus)

etc., etc.,

It's going to be a mix of things but yes I will require lots of text, and maybe some fx and some color correction.

In addition to all of Leslie's recommendations, have a look at Pixelan (pixelan.com). They have a host of plug-ins for color (FilmTouch), fx & transitions(CreativeEase, DissloveMaster, 3D six pack).
