I'm not a rich guy. I want to get Sony Vegas, but I haven't been able to the past months. I'm wondering if you guys know of any free video editing programs out there that is similiar to Sony Vegas. I'm mainly looking for software that allows you to put an image behind you, as the instructors do here. Windows Movie Maker doesn't do this.
Can you help me?
Hmmm I'm not sure there are free video editing software solutions out there that support chroma key (way to put background behind you). Do you have a green screen background and good lighting conditions to do this?
Have you tried getting the trial versions of Sony Vegas, Adobe Premier and similar products ?
I could get a green screen. I'm not sure about lighting conditions. I think I do. I don't have the high dollar stuff. Probably a lot of natural sunlight would help - which I can get with my two windows. I haven't tried trial versions yet. I've thought about it, but I'm afraid to do if I can't buy the program right away. This happened with Adobe After Effects. I miss it. It was awesome. I can't afford the program, I only got the trial version for AE. Also, it might turn out that I can't make it work like I want and I'll waste time on my trial. A bunch of reasons why I haven't tried the trial yet.
You can get Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum for 69$, check out this link:

Oh wow! I think this will work for me! It will definitely do better than Movie Maker. Thanks, I will shoot for this. As a college kid, I have to think about things more in terms of inexpensive products sometimes. After all, I have a lot of stuff on my wishlist, not to mention a car to do upkeep on.
I know what you mean mate. I do believe that Movie Studio will do the job for you. It's very similar to Vegas Pro, but it has some limitations in number of video tracks and similar things. However, for basic needs, it's awesome for the price. Let us know what you did!
Okay, Ivan. I plan on getting the trial first, just to be safe. Probably even get a green screen ready to use as well.
Look for it on eBay, you might find a good deal.
