Premiere for free? Possible?

Postby TifaStrife1984 » Thu Dec 19, 2002 12:13 am

Okay, REALLY STUPID question.

I'm a bit strapped for cash. The boredom fairy went and spent all my money on pop tarts and iced tea.

Anyway, I'm in the market for a good but cheap and/or free editor like everyone's talking about. I figured I could do everything with VDub, because I've had lots of fun editing various stuff with it, but, after reading a bunch of posts, it doesn't seem that that would be a good idea.

I'm looking for something that would at least allow me to do effects much like those in Aluminum Studios' works ("Blue Mercury", and "Venus in a Bottle" for starters). I know how I could edit and do the effects frame-by-frame with VDub, but if there's a quicker and easier way with a different program, I'd like to know.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but if you can handle a rather substantial paradigm shift:

Yeah, but I don't have XP, and I hear you need that.

Because I advertise it so often, and I figured people were going to get annoyed ;)

Yes, although I'm still writing up the OS installation phase (there's lots of places that things can easily go wrong, because there's just so many ways to do things :) )
