Answers.Body: <p>After Effects is well know as a <em>finishing software</em>. The best chroma key plug-in I saw in A.E. was keylight. Very nice full controls, to handle even color/light correction of borders key. I don't know if keylight is avaliable for FCE. Maybe the only benefit inside FCE is rendering time. Real tests can talk a lot more.</p>
  
  <p>My vote goes for <strong>After Effects</strong>.</p>
