My friend said you could add special effects, like explosions and animated creatures to a video with a certain software. Does any1 know if there is a video editing software like that? Because I don't want to have to make a real explosion.

Reasonably priced video editing software?

I am looking for video editing software to make movies with cool effects. Some examples would be light saber effects and noises. Gun shots (sparks at the tip of gun to simulate firing). Digital blood splatter from gunshot or knife. and maybe some explosions. I'm not looking to create the effects, just looking for pre-rendered effects that I can place on the screen. Good titles and openings would be nice as well.

Answer
If you are looking for special effects such as light sabers, lasers, running on roof tops then you will need Adobe After Effects very good program that can produce some genuine looking film effects however does take some learning and cost a lot.

I have used a few video editing programs and the easiest one has been DVD Slideshow Builder. Very easy to use with professional features and same sort of layout as Movie Maker however a lot more powerful and much cheaper than Adobe After Effects .
