Looking for video editing software with good special effects features.?

Question

Im looking for something besides Effects Lab that can still do rotoscoping, masking, animation, and displacement. I'm trying to make a sci-fi movie and for some reason my computer was having troubles with Effects Lab so I gave up on that software.

Answer 1

Try getting videowave 9 or roxio easy cd creator 9. AWSOME for speicial effects.

Answer 2

Low-Cost Alternative:

Blender; $0 or $10/month

Ask yourself: Is Blender good enough?

Blender has a complete VFX pipeline in one single software package.

In Blender you get tools similar to Maya (animation), 3ds Max (modifiers), ZBrush (sculpting), FumeFX (fire and smoke), RealFlow (fluids), RayFire (destruction), Mocha (planar tracking), Boujou (matchmoving), Arnold (rendering), After Effects (motion graphics), and Nuke (compositing).

All of these tools are far from perfect, but they're getting better every day.

Blender is FREE with full functionality and you're allowed to use Blender in any production without having to pay for anything.

Only you know if Blender is good enough for your projects needs and requirements.

Cheese monkey video editor is great it only has one special effect where you can put a banana on the screen, and with month to years of practice it allows you to write and compile extensive code in its pickle sauce SDK that lets it play videos in 133x133 resolution (FREAKIN AWESOME), also it allows you to turn up the volume...WOW... unfortunately there's no website because the maker killed himself after realizing he was pregnant...Dont ask, I cant figure it out either...

Answer 4

Videowave!
