I have an olllllld version of Magix Movie Edit Pro from a few years ago when I didn't know right form left about movie editing.
It works fine I guess, but it's very basic. -_-

What are the best programs for editing and effects and all that?
Premiere Pro? After Effects? Avid?

Let me know!
Thanks!



PS. This is my new name on here. I haven't been on this site in a while, I'm not sure why. I guess I've been busy. I used to be EricProductions and SkippingStoneArts, but I forgot all of those passwords. :P

Premiere Pro is pretty amazing. Many people will tell you Final Cut or Avid over Premiere, but I personally (and it is a personal preference) adore Adobe products. You said effects, so After Effects is the way to go. I don't think anyone would steer you away from After Effects. If they tried, just tell them they're mad.

I got the Adobe Video Collection a few years ago with Student Discount for 435 dollars. It had:

Premiere Pro 1.5
After Effects 6.5
Audition
Encore 1.5

Cheya!

My God.
That's amazing!
I wish I could be you, ship the programs to my address, and then be myself again. :P

If you could do that, you would be Agent Smith.

True!

Okay so basically the Adobe programs are my best bet?

Yes, except for the fact Vegas owns Adobe. And not like they own the company, own as in pwn.

Ah yes, many people do like Vegas too. I just... personally... don't. Vegas is too Sonyfied. I don't know what that means.

It's a little more expensive now, but it has a lot more programs... ones I wouldn't really use. Check the rest of the site itself out and just buy them independently, they'll be as cheap as you can get.

Good lucksters.
