Make your own Films: Effects

Every kid has the inspiration to want to make their own videos. All you need is a camera and an idea. But what about for those of us who want to make something better with awesome muzzle flares, explosions, lasers, and other effects. Searching for the right effects programs though can be very challenging. Some programs can cost thousands of dollars and do practically everything movie related. While others can cost a few hundred dollars and do only a part of jobs you want completed. Here is a program that I have found that is relatively cheap but can also satisfy nearly all of you movie making needs. This program is called Fxhome but has many different branches that you can buy and download.
Here is the site for one of the cheaper and more basic buys, you can use this one for muzzle flares explosions, lasers, smoke, and some different color grades:

If you scroll up on that page to wear it says products, you can view other programs that can serve different purposes.
There is one problem with this program though: it does not produce sound. It may create some awesome visuals, but your going to need to mix your own sounds if you want a final finished project.
