[Purple_Tentacle]

which programs could anyone suggest for creating lightsaber effects for a fan film ?

factors being -

easy to use
free ware or easy to get the warez version
will import a variety of file types


i am used to program interfaces such as flash / DW / photoshop.

a mixture of flash and photoshop would be perfect.

geez thanks for your help mate.

im not asking for any illegal sh*t. all i want is the the names of the programs, thats all, help someone out instead of writing them off.

i was really hoping to get some help here. does anyone ELSE want to contribute ?

i think that Adobe After-Effects is a good program for that...once you upload a video from a digi cam onto your comp...hope that helps :)

PSP 7.0 30 day trial (http://download.com.com/3000-2192-7057820.html?tag=lst-0-15)

Darn, right when some one needs help with something Film related, I miss it.

Anyway, I would recomend Commotion if you really want to do some serious Rotoscoping, it is far better than Aftter Effects, or Ulead.
