Recently with summer and all I have been getting into editing some videos I shot with my friends. Currently, I have Windows Movie Maker and I was looking to get something better but still within a budget of like $100. Thanks!

Don't bother.

Steal something better, or learn WMM inside out so that you can get around the general shittiness.

You might as well just not Steele anything. Michael Steele is an idiot.

I know a lot of people like Vegas, but save yourself the hassle and go with Premiere Pro or FCP (if you're running Mac). I have PP CS3 and love it, very much.

On that note, I'll probably be upgrading to the CS5 production suite with my school discount.

Do you honestly need to register Sony Vegas 9 on an other computer? It won't work on mine when I register it.

Would you happen to have a link or way to get Premiere Pro cheaper? I don't exactly have $799 to spend.

By crack he means keygen. The key is what you have to give Adobe so that they let you have the full program - you have to trick them.

Use this, I've heard of this method working for people:

Touche, didn't really read the thread above so I guess I lose. FAIL.

Can't he use a similar method for CS5?

I would think, I dont have a 64 bit machine to test CS5 though
I do have CS5 master collection, but Premiere and After effects CS5 on 32bit computers are just Premiere and After Effects CS4
all I had to do was enter a master collection key and I was set, no messing with files or anything

So once you have the CS5 trial installed and the keygen downloaded, what do you do next?

don't buy video editing programs... get the trial.. and a key gen, it will save you $1,000.

As ive recomended before, get After Effects trial, and go onto video copilot.net and watch and follow allong with some of his tutorials, if you like the program, find a serial number generator and plug in the serial number when prompted, a good one is Core MultiGen for cs4 softwares.

Google's your friend.

The only thing is I'm a little skeptical about downloading a keygen and the chance I'll get a virus. Does anyone have a working one they have used for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5?

seems alright, I'd usually try to find it on TPB though, the comments always help if you can't get it to work, but that has a patch with it.

Just avoid tarps
