Title: Cant afford adobe after effects CS3...
Post by: liambiscuit on February 03, 2008, 07:26:16 PM
Well i was dared at school to make a DragonBall Z video using a webcam and PC software.... and so far all i can find is After Effects CS3... and i doubt a 12 yr old like me can afford the 720 bucks for it :)... and i dont want to do one of those Warez or code cracks... so i need a program similar to that, but freeware... and not quite as big :)

And if your going to say: theres a trial just use that!
im going to respond: Yeah download 1.2gigs for that one project... right... on my dial up? *scoffs*

Thanks-
~Simitra

EDIT: atleast i THINK its 720 bucks... been googling it and some sites say 1000... others say 500... :/ im unsure... well that doesnt matter :)

I applaud your decision not to go warez! 

Have any friends with broadband to download the trial for you?

Although I'm not a fan of it, windows movie maker will do it.  It should be on your computer already if you have win xp.

I've gotta ask; where in the world are you?  You're not in Langdondale, PA are you?

Langdondale is the first place I could think of where someone would be considered lucky to have dial-up.  My grandmother lived there.  It's near Saxton, which isn't far from Bedford . . . not that you have any reason to know those places either.  :)  Probably about 2 hours east of Pittsburgh in the middle of nowhere.

Well, hey... If you have access to a mac... I'd recommend iMovie much more anyway... it's a thousand times better than any video program on windows (including pinnacle).

You don't want to touch that thing anyway, they kill braincells.  ;)

haha.  It's possible that they kill brain cells, but I think the better statement would be that you need less working brain cells to operate one  ;)

Maybe they just encourage brain atrophy then.  ;D

all about you, is it?  ;D

I thought you'd decided you were going to use windows movie maker (ugh)...

Really, i don't know if you're going to find another video editing program for pc for free.

You can have a DVD of Creative Suite 3 Master Collection shipped to you for $24.99 (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/mastercollection/trial/).  This has trial versions of:
Adobe InDesign® CS3
Adobe Photoshop® CS3 Extended
Adobe Illustrator® CS3
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
Adobe Flash® CS3 Professional
Adobe Dreamweaver® CS3
Adobe Fireworks® CS3
Adobe Contribute®
Adobe After Effects® CS3 Professional
Adobe Premiere® Pro CS3
Adobe Soundbooth™ CS3
Adobe Encore® CS3
Plus Adobe OnLocation™ CS3 (Windows® only) and Adobe Ultra® CS3 (Windows only)

Kinda pricey for a 30 day trial, I know, but they don't seem to offer After Effects by itself on a trial disc.

$24.99 is pricey for a trial, but let's face it... that's a pretty sweet package of trial software.

While I wish it wasn't $24.99 (or, anything, since it's just a trial), I think I'd pay for it if I needed any of those titles for PC.
