    Default Special Effects

    Is there a good free program for adding special effects to video footage on the PC? What I really want to do is be able to overlay things (other than text, e.g other videos or effects) onto existing videos. Is there anything available that will do it?

    On Windows you can run Premiere Pro, Vegas, Avid Liquid, and Avid Xpress.

    All very expensive. I don't have any of them unfortunately.

    The best place to look for free stuff is probably Source Forge - they list 190 projects under "Special Effects" so you might find something.
    Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?

    If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

    Depends on the special effect I think - I've just been learning to throw some effects together myself (laser beams and disintegrations), but it's all still a bit in its infancy.

    If you can somehow send me the video file, I can add some snow for you.
