I have about like 70 or 80 bucks for like best buy, and i have the capture card and all the stuff i need to make halo films/machinima/montages but i need a good editing program.I am totaly against using cracks, as the ****ed up several of my friends computors.So is there a cheap option (70 or 80 $) that i can purchase?
I couldnt tell you the exact price but I use and many professional Machinima guys use Pinnicle Studios. It is an amazing program with endless possiblilities. I would suggest that one.
Pinnacle is a very good program, i bought mine for 30 bucks, it came with the capture device, and the video editing program. I used to make all my videos on Pinnacle, but now i switched to Sony vegas. Pinnicle is the way to go though.
But the windows movie maker one really sucks, Sure, its there alredy, its free, but it always shits up the quality.
Adobe After Effects?!!?! Anyway, it's not the cracks that ****ed up your friends' computer, it's them. Obviously they don't know where to look/virus scan/scan period.
-_- serious? Anyway, i never really cared for Pinnacle, and now that Avid bought it out, I don't know what to think of it. They might have made it better. I would save up for Sony Vegas Pro 8. I used 7 on my home computer, and it is great, and I have tried 8, and it is very good. I predict it will be up there with Final Cut and Avid not far from now. But then again, it is expensive... So ya, I would try and work towards a Vegas version, but pinnacle might be good in the mean time.
k, im doing ok with pinicle ( i got a dazzle with it) so how much is sony vegus? like 500$? Also to the guy that said that its my friends fualt, no its not.
It's around $400 I think, but i got mine... a non recommended way. Now i need to 'purchase' it again for my new computer. But I think you can get a student version for less (if they have one) and it will serve your purpose.
Yes it is, if they're not intelligent enough to find a working crack, they don't deserve it. That's what I meant, not After Effects. Possible PLE or Trial version so you can get a run around.
