hi, everyone. aside from mapping, one of my hobbies is to create videos, but there's a huge problem:
videopad, the software i normally use, has been updated in such a way that the program is no longer usable for me. in the previous version, i could drag the begginning or end of a clip and be able to see exactly where i was cutting it off at in my preview port, but now it doesn't do that... and so i now have to take almost a whole hour just to get the timing of a simple edit right. does anyone know about a free or within a 10$ price range program that has the following features? (i use these a lot.)

• able to view and hear exactly what the video looks and sounds like as im working on it
• ability to import several types of media files
• green screen effect (chroma keying)
• fade in/fade out transitions
• multiple audio tracks
• ability to split clips at certain position
• need to be able to do actual sequencing, not the "my beautiful family photo memory nostalgia" crap that some software forces on you
• text overlays at any part of the video for any duration
• ability to use pictures as well as video

Seconded. Just don't use videos over 10 gigabytes and it will work great.

I use clips over 10gb all the time.

Banned? Banned from what? TWP? Don't think so. I don't condone doing that ordinarily. Especially with Portal 2 which is only $20. But when people charge ~$1000 for a piece of software thats getting a little ridiculous. You could buy a whole high end computer for that much moolah. I would happily pay $100 for software, but Adobe don't seem to be content with being rich; they want to be filthy rich.

Im using Sony Vegas 12, that shouldnt make problems for your features.

And remember:

I know the rules here aren't very consistent, but it is in the rules and people have been banned for it before.

Oh yeah, this one. I suppose it's a tough one to pick because of where the line is drawn, though I'm not sure if what's happened in this thread constitutes enough for a ban. In the context of the thread I think it was probably inevitable that it'd come up.

oh, i agree. if it wasn't for the fact that i could go to jail for it, i'd just go ahead and pirate it. sadly, the rich just get filthier and filthier...

Speaking of grey areas, what ever happened to this:

Oops I think my is 160ish. I'll resize them, or go back to text links maybe.

EDIT: There, I fixed it
