Youtube videos

Recently I've been watching loads of Youtube tutorials on how to use Final Cut Express as I have never seriously used it before. Videos can obviously range if there usefulness, however I have found one 'youtuber' who I found effective even though there was no dialogue. I decided to subscribe to his videos, this way I'm able to keep up to date with further tutorials he posts.

Here is the video that I watched, it demonstrates how to put the light leaks effect onto the video. Unfortunately this is for Final cut Pro so I will not be able to use it, also with no dialogue it may be hard to follow. Yet I found it effective as I now knew the name of the effect I desired, Light leaks. I feel that this effects over the dream stage of the music video will work nicely to create a dream like atmosphere.

I am still looking for an alternative, currently looking at downloading a effects program onto my home laptop to edit the footage, then put it all together on Final Cut Express and sixth form. This after discussing with my teachers and the it technicians is the best route to take. However, I do not want to me spending a small fortune on this. I have tried downloading the free 30 day trial of After Effects however the download for some reason wouldn't complete. So I am now looking for another way.  And as I do not have an Apple Mac at home Final Cut Express or Pro are out of the questions.
