Nice programs if u want good movie for dota i used this programs to cr8 WOW movie, it is not so hard to use it

[ramb.O]

For me Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects are hard to use. I tried to use 4 month ago.. but i couldnt
The other programs are easy to use.

I can share Sony vegas pro 9.0, After Effects (dont know version) and fraps (cracked) if u want/need and another program called Camtasia which allows record (like fraps) and edit (like Sony vegas, but less professional -> more easy)
Just tell me!
