You can also buy the Ignite plugins separately. Even if you choose not to go with HitFilm definitely get the Ignite plugins! Because they work in both AE and Premiere many things you would normally be forced into doing in AE can be done without ever leaving Premiere. They work the same across hosts so if you decide to move on to something else like Edius or Resolve, you still get the same effects and looks you're used to. Here's the Film Video covering the promo and using Ignite in AE: If you hurry there's a 50% off promotion going on with Film Riot through June 27th making Ignite $99.50, less than a dollar per effect.
