If you are serious about doing all kinds of custom video effects, you will need the proper software, such as Motion or Adobe After Effects. You may be able to replicate some of the effects though with 3D Animation software, or with something like Flash.

Just be fair warned that advanced effects software for video is not cheap. Adobe After Effects CS3 retails at $999. IMHO, if you were serious abuot doing this like of work, look into Final Cut Studio. At $1299, you get Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Compressor and DVD Studio Pro. Compared to the counterpart software in Adobe's CS3 collection, it's a LOT cheaper, but without a loss of features of functionality. There have been a ton of Hollywood movies ranging from 300 to Happy Feet to Napoleon Dynamite which have been created/edited using Final Cut Pro. |
I use a PC and have Adobe After Effects so how would you make these effects using AE?
