Help with Graphics

I am a wedding videographer and also produce short commercials. I have been using Sony Vegas for years but I would like to add a little extra when it comes to text graphics and special effects. Any suggestions about plug-ins out there? Thanks.

I do all my graphics in Adobe Fireworks and import them into Vegas. Since Fireworks natively saves to png with alpha I can just use those files to build my lower thirds or whatever else I need. I then use protype in conjunction with this (protype is a part of pro version of 8 and 9).

You also have Boris FX and grafitti, and if you have some older versions of Vegas you might be able to get some of debugmode.com's (Satish's) to cooperate with Vegas.

I can't imagine doing video without PhotoShop.

I checked out Adobe Fireworks and Boris FX, but I can't imagine dropping over $500 to add simple graphics.

Is there any program out there for under $200 that is specifically made for plug and play graphics for Vegas? Help!
