You should be getting Sound Forge with Sony Vegas for the suite.

Sony Vegas gives you special effects to do After Effects effects built in. The whole interface is closer to AVID as well.

You should get Photoshop with either Vegas or Premiere. It can make GREAT titles with both.

I would avoid Vegas, simply because the industry tends to use either Final Cut or Premiere, so Vegas has been shunted into a different category. It's probably better to learn with Premiere Elements and then make the step up to Premiere Pro once you're ready. I just see Vegas as a bit of a dead end.

Special Effects: You can do glowing eyes in the dark. Just like After Effects, you have to track the movement of the live action for the glow to follow frame by frame.

The TV series Nightline is edited with Vegas Pro. There are a lot of popular music groups who have their music videos edited with Sony Vegas Pro.

When I bought the Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Suite, Sony Sound Forge was included in the box. And, you can use it with Movie Studio and Sony Vegas Pro and launch it from within both. With Sound Forge, you can add plug-ins like Bias Sound Soap. And, you can do audio special effects such as audio pans and reverb. There are special templates to even make the audio sound like a dream.

I bought Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 Suite just to get Sound Forge. Check the box to make such it is included.
