   Adobe Premiere
  I'm making a short film and have been searching for good editing software. My favourite out of all the demos I tried was Premiere, problem is my 30 day trial is expired. I make films for fun, not profit so I can afford the 700 nicker that full software costs. Is there any way to cheat the trial period and reset it? Or are there any better editing software programs out there for free/cheap?What I'm looking for I proffessional editing that's simple and accesable. The second best I've found would be Ulead Studio, but it doesn't have any of the features I want. I've also tried Aist Movie Zone, but that's overly complex and it makes it too hard to do easy things. For special effects, I've used Showbiz. But that's too basic and for home videos mostly   Cheers, comrade Kyle Evans,Artificial entertainment [Movie/Game Reviews]Contact: kyser3152@yahoo.com.au[edited by - Cypher Ae on February 2, 2004 1:36:02 AM]
  Go to Plymouth, MN and look for a dude named Alex who goes to Wayzata High school.

Premiere is indeed an excelent peice of software, and I know of no decent alternatives. I must point out though - cheating trial periods, etc - is very naughty. ;  Edit studio has most of the features a hobbyist would need: http://www.puremotion.com/ ;  Thanks for all that. But unfortunately my locale in Australia and slow internet speed stops me from trying out alot of those options. However, I the actual computer I use to edit the film has not had the trial installed yet, so I can edit the film within the 30 day trial on another computer, I just won''t be able to use it afterwards. *Sigh*Btw. Gimp is photo editing, not video. Cheers, comrade Kyle Evans,Artificial entertainment [Movie/Game Reviews]Contact: kyser3152@yahoo.com.au;quote:Original post by Cypher Ae  Btw.

Thus discussion in this thread will focus on finding you alternatives, or it will be closed. BTW, have you considered whether you qualify for an academic license?
