All Editing is Post-Production. Aftereffects is timeline based and can work with Audio and Video and can have several layers of each. So based on what you put on your time line. Its editing too. It isnt real time, but it has Ram Previews (depending on the version). We used AE to put last years anim together. We rendered in layers and compositied in AE. I wouldnt edit Audio there if I could avoid it (but I had in the past when no other options were available) I put together a full 3 min video with AE about 4-5 yrs ago and that was before ram previews.

So if you dont have the hardware to run somthing eles- Its an option.

PS: There is a software package from Avid call ExpressDV. Its about 1900 for the basic version and 2400 for an upgrade. If you have a computer you can run it on (check out their site for spec's) you dont even need a capture card if you import Quicktimes or AVI's and If we export the same for Discreet then you'd be all set. If you read my post on computer systems, the same applies here- If you dont have the money. Find someone to donate it- or 3-4 people/businesses.
