I'm trying to make a fan music video for a certain song. However, I have never used any video editing program or any experience with making a video (other than Windows Movie Maker). What are some great programs for me to get for video editing? And how limited am I with that program if I just shoot a footage with a video from a digital camera? For example, lets say I take a footage with me opening up a bush, can I edit that footage with a program so that the camera acts like it just goes inside the bushes really fast and the whole scenery changes like I went underground or something? Do I need like a green screen for something like that or can it be done with video editing? Another option I'd like to know if its possible without addition camera techniques and purely done on the program itself, I'd like to make the video 'stutter' like its just a flip book going really fast. Like the music video of radiohead- there there (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs1DX32t38c) Pretty much I have a video recorded from a digital camera, how limited am I if I just use a video editing program and not use extra cameras and such?
You'll need a program that has chroma-key, for the greenscreen. There are many programs out there that have it. Roxio Creator 2009 is one of those programs, but it isn't free.
