eBay has a few of them. Just make sure that you get an official Adobe license transfer certificate. If an AE license has already been used to upgrade (like all of mine), it can still be transferred, but not used for a further upgrade.

Yeah, I looked on ebay- just don't want to get burned. So, I thought I would ask here first where there are people I trust.

eBay used to be great for buying a factory-sealed ancient AE4 from a reseller's dusty inventory + a fresh latest version AE upgrade box for $399-$499.

That was before Meg Whitman destroyed the company though, sigh.

A vaguely related question: can you use AfterEffects as a stand-alone product to process files for import into Vegas, or does AE have to be used with PremierePro?

AE doesn't need PP to process files for Vegas.

I use AE with Vegas all the time. Since Adobe improved its previously buggy Dynamic Link feature in CS5, Premiere and AE "talk" to each other a lot better and you can almost avoid re-rendering.

With Vegas and AE, you need some kind of intermediate codec and Cineform does the trick.
