Even my old Ulead Video Studio allowed me to overlay some image on the video. It was work as we had to create the effect frame by frame, but it was only a few minutes total so grinding it out only took a week.
Sony Vegas is only slightly more money and would have made this a lot easier.

I am currently looking into making a stop motion short about star wars and was wondering if anyone could give me any help on telling me how to create laser beams, and which program i would use to do it?
thanks very much
