The LTD version included with Vegas is crippled. If you want to use it as a plugin with Vegas, it will cost you $149. The full version is supposedly a competitor to Adobe After Effects.

$149 will buy you the titling software Graffiti, RED 3GL is the competitor to After Effects and costs a lot more.

Take a look at www.borisfx.com for the differences between the packages.

Thanks for the clarification, Paul. I got Red and Graffiti confused.
