While you may not want to try this software unless you are going to be semi-serious about brickfilming (though you could try the free trial), I would highly recommend looking into iKitMovie 4.0 if you plan on doing stop motion for any long period of time. While the $70 price tag ($80 if you want it in DVD form) might seem pretty steep, you really get quite a lot. iKitMovie supports HD video, has over 2,00 sounds in its library, has a Chroma Key feature, allows you to overlay pictures (such as muzzle flashes) into the video, and has masking. The best thing about it is that you can do all your filming and editing with one piece of software (that is, if you don't want to do anything too fancy).
However, from my experience iKitMovie has been rather buggy (their customer support is great, though) and the time it takes to export and add masks seems longer than it should be.
You'd also need to make sure your laptop meets the minimum requirements.
Hope this helps.
