I didn't actually UTFSF, but I looked back four pages on this board and saw nothing.
I'm looking for a video editing/compositing/mixing program that's maybe a step or two up from what I'm using. The best I've found so far for what I'm trying to do is NCH Prism. It does what Windows MovieMaker does a bit better, but not a whole lot more. Not that I need much more, but...
What I really want is a good way to "mix" or overlay two or more videos (and/or still images) with the option to use different merge modes. Don't know if "merge mode" is the standard term for it, in Photopaint it tells how to treat overlapping objects and has options like Add, Subtract, Difference, If Lighter, etc...
The ability to zoom and pan each layer separately would be nice, and keyframing would make this even better.
And I want support for both importing and exporting a fairly wide variety of file types. HQ Youtube ready output is a must!
I don't know. Right now my needs are fairly modest. I've lusted for Adobe After Effects since the mid '90s, but I don't think I have a machine even now which could run it well, and I definitely can't justify that kind of expense. Hell, I can't really justify any expense! If there was something that does those things mentioned above well for $100 or less I might splurge a bit, but it would really have to be noticeably better than what I'm using.
Edit - Guess I should mention that I'm running XP 32 bit
