Topic: A Stormtroopers Life Deleted Scene/iMovie help

So I was wondering. How could animate a fairly decent star ship traveling through space, without getting really big, expensive programs. I've recently learned that you can do effects on iMovie, but I'm not sure you can make the ship fly across the screen, without supports.

Here is the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy2rxrBV … ature=plcp

So here's my other question. Could I possibly do some masking or something similar with iMovie? I've heard Final Cut can do stuff like that, but like I said, can't afford it. (Sorry this is kinda in the wrong forum, but I had two topics I wanted to cover, so.)

The link doesn't work.  I use Gimp to mask all of my stuff.

Ahhh yeah!!!

I am aware of Gimp, but that program, really is very bad. I can easily give viruses to your computer. And also, whenever I see a link that isn't blue, I just copy and paste it in the website search bar. Be creative!

You're mistaken in your assessment of GIMP. While its usability can be a bit challenging, it's a powerful program - especially considering the low, low pricetag. If you're having trouble with viruses, you need to be careful where you're trying to download it from. One consistently safe place for downloads of all types is www.cnet.com. You can download GIMP from them here.

Well, I don't necessarily have any trouble with 'em, my dad just wants to be cautious. So I might try out the program, Acorn for mac. It's $50, but I can afford it in a few months.

Please use gimp. At least try it out, it's free and used as an alternative to photoshop a $700 program.... Give it a try.

Don't worry; I downloaded it recently and everything's fine. Lots of other people have used it as well.

I think you're dad's just telling you to beware of free downloads. But it's okay when many people tell you that it's safe.

Ok, I'll consider it. I could download it for now, but then when I can afford a better program, I'll probably switch to that.

I understand where he's coming from, but trust me, it's safe. mini/yes
I both use, and love it. It's a great tool, and invaluable to the average brickfilmer.
