Software Suggestions?

[lilith_hayden]

okay so I am quite new to making amv's and the only software I have right now the make them is on windows movie maker.
I'm looking for another software that isn't so expensive.
Like I know sony vegas is a popular one, but i've heard it's kind of pricy.
Are there any good ones that cost under $100?

also pinnacle studio HD...any opinons on that one? I saw a few amv's on youtube made with this software and they all looked very nice, but I'm looking for other opinons.
Thanks!

You can get Sony Vegas for as little as $45 (for Vegas Studio HD 9, other versions available are 11 Platinum for $100, Platinum Production Suite for $125, and Pro 10 for $600), or Adobe Premiere Elements for about $100 (you can get a bundle of Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements for $150).

There's other options, but these are the most common you'll find in use around here.

You should also look out for student discounts if it applies to you - can save you quite a few bucks.
