I am needing video basically for a class I’m taking this semester, in which part of it will be a video project and editing video in Adobe After Effects. Sound quality isn’t a big issue but image quality is. Also how much video can you shoot at one time with the T1i? I considered buying an additional Vixia camcorder but I’m hesitant to spend $Ȱ

It’s pretty good, but you’d be spending a lot of money if you plan on using it primarily as a camcorder. Note that the audio is monaural and not stereo. Keep in mind that 20 frames per second may not be enough to keep up with fast action; the 30 frames @ 720p resolution would be much better for that.
The T1i can record at 30fps but at a reduced resolution of 1280×720. Still well above standard def.
The actual quality will be quite good, the large sensor will give you a great sensation of depth of field, however this makes focusing more critical. There are no exposure controls either, so the camera is pretty much on auto exposure. This will affect the aperture and shutter, meaning you kind of hit record and hope for the best.
The 7D is better suited as it has manual controls and full HD recording at 30fps but it is a lot more money.
The cap is usually around 12minutes. Which is a loads and loads for after effects.
