This thread is for people to talk and get help with anything video related. As the subject is so broad and there are so many different resources you can use for it, this thread will provide places to ask questions and get help on specific needs instead of trying to cover everything for all platforms in a tutorial. It allows all members to be able to provide help to each other and support each other on projects, and connect with members that you didn’t know before. There will be some resources and FAQ’s listed below that will be updated regularly as seen fit. We request that you be patient and don’t spam questions please, people will reply when they have time. If you have a suggestion on something to add to the first post, such as programs to add to the list, let us know that as well and we would be happy to add them for you.

I'd like to recommend Hitfilm 4 Express. It's a free program with good video editing and VFX capabilities. You can buy "packages" to get more VFX but what it has now is pretty cool. It's also got a lot of tutorial videos from the company on Youtube, like how to make lightsabers for free(Lightsabers are part of a sci-fi package you can buy, but you don't need it to create the actual lightsaber effect).
