Do anyone know if you can do FX like Glass shattering or some kind of Particle FX like the FX in Pinnacle studio, or do you have to buy Vegas in order to do FX like that...
You can certainly do this in Vegas using the free 3D Plugin Pac but you can also do this and many of the Hollywood FX effects in Ulead Cool 3D Production Studio. It also has particle effects (i.e., smoke, fire, snow. etc.) so in some ways it can do more than Pinnacle Studio Hollywood FX. You can download a 30-day trial from the ulead.com site. It costs $129 to purchase from Ulead ($109 at amazon.com).
