What Special FX program/software do you use?

[merauxman]

I have been trying to make my own videos and stuff, but i have never had a good camera. Well i finally found a good one so i started looking for special fx/editing software for videos. I found one called Blender which is open-source but i don't think its for editing videos and i can't figure out how to use it.

Does anyone else know of a good special FX editor for videos that is either free or at a decent price And that is designed for editing videos with special effects.

If you have ever watched the AVGN. thats the kind of software that i'm looking for

Adobe After Effects. You can do really advanced stuff with it.

Freddie Wong uses After Effects. It's really obvious in his videos. I could recreate that, but I have neither the time nor any nice locations to do such things. Also, my computer isn't up to the task, which makes it troubling when I dabble with effects. I need a hexa core.
