Premiere for free? Possible?

[TifaStrife1984]

Okay, REALLY STUPID question.

I'm a bit strapped for cash. The boredom fairy went and spent all my money on pop tarts and iced tea.

Anyway, I'm in the market for a good but cheap and/or free editor like everyone's talking about. I figured I could do everything with VDub, because I've had lots of fun editing various stuff with it, but, after reading a bunch of posts, it doesn't seem that that would be a good idea.

I'm looking for something that would at least allow me to do effects much like those in Aluminum Studios' works ("Blue Mercury", and "Venus in a Bottle" for starters). I know how I could edit and do the effects frame-by-frame with VDub, but if there's a quicker and easier way with a different program, I'd like to know.

Well, Windows Movie Maker is free.

I got premiere for free, with updates.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but if you can handle a rather substantial paradigm shift:

I'm going to get flamed for this,

um... why? It's a perfectly good way of doing things.

Have you started that amvs for 'nix guide?

Yeah, but I don't have XP, and I hear you need that.

Nah, loonix is a good solution if you know how to work with it.

Because I advertise it so often, and I figured people were going to get annoyed

Yes, although I'm still writing up the OS installation phase (there's lots of places that things can easily go wrong, because there's just so many ways to do things )
