Kind of a slow time consuming way of doing things, based on my own style.

I've read that once you get high enough up the Avid program, you can open AE in Avid and edit that way.
I hear ya man, but in actuality, you can open Premiere Pro project files in AE. And with FCP you can import your timeline directly into motion or Shake. and when ur done you can re-export the timeline back into FCP and all ur shnazzy new graphics will already be in place

switching from premiere to AE and back is as easy as a click.

same goes for FCP and its compositing systems.

As for avid, i dunno, never looked into it
