Unfortunately haven't found anything great that is free without pirating so I've made all my AMV's with Windows Movie Maker. It's kind of limited with its effects and all and even more limited in what you can save it as but I've figured out an optimal saving setting that comes out really good compared to past AMV's I have done with it.

Idealy, you want software like Sony Vegas or Adobe Video Editing. Unfortunatly not free, but they allow for some AMAZING amv's.

unfortunately free is rather limited. So I stick with Movie maker

aw man I freakin hate that program, just trying to find an alternative

thanks razor, I'll give video pad a whirl

If you don't mind a learning curve you can try the linux based Cinelerra, its open source. http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php

I can't offer much help on the workings of it however because I'm still learning it myself.

sorry sho just found out that vid pad is a limited trial >.>

*goes back to Windows Movie Maker*

oh well

[Vael]

yes thanks for that, just saw the message myself

and thanks L4ugh, just put linux on my system again, and found a few interesting ones I'll try, I'll say if any I found are good

of course that could delay my entry for the 2nd contest

If you want to make GOOD AMV's you need something a bit more powerful than Movie Maker.

I personally use Premiere Pro and After Effects, they can produce AMAZING results. They can be used on a trial period for 30 days, which is fine for a contest like this, of if you know where to look, they are free.
