How to make video movies with green screen and many video and audio effects cheaply. There are many cheap and even some free video editors that have more features than Windows Movie Maker. This ten minute tutorial shows some effects that are available with Magix Movie Edit Pro 2004, which is no longer available. There are newer versions of Magix video editors and other brands of video editors which have some of the same effects. If you are a beginner, this will tell you what to search for when you want features. There are some artifacts and glitches in the green screen scenes caused by the yellow shirt that has a tendency to have green shadows. I had to overcompensate to adjust the shirt green coloring and I had to opt between the shirt disappearing or the background having a lot of green smudge. In future vids I will use different colors and different lighting for the green screen shots.

  • Hi. My computer ...

    Hi. My computer does not run any hardware. It is connected to a printer which I use once in a while but I don't have any hardware going that is run by the computer. The render time is fast enough with everything except the chroma key program that renders only in AVI or MPEG that takes a lot a lot of time because of the large file size. I can do a quick green screen with just the Magix and a render to wmv file.

    Hi, BigLon, I will try to do some more of these when I get my new Magix Movie Edit 14 Pro probably next week or the week after. It will take me some time to learn what I am doing. Thanks.

  • Hi. I had the Vegas ...

    Hi. I had the Vegas video editor several years ago when it was Sonic Foundry before Sony bought it. I did some videos with it. It cost a couple of hundred then. I like the Magix better. I will be getting a new Magix Movie Edit Pro 14 Plus in a few days. I have a very high end chroma key program, but I never use it because it takes hours to render a one minute scene. I will let you know how the new Magix stacks up.

    Hey tom, have you ever thought of shelling out cash on some serious video editing systems? I'm talking Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas Pro, Avid, Adobe, etc. I guarantee you will have a ball with all the bells and whistles they have.
