Not half bad

This is a delightful little tool for mimicking the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic. I’ve had a lot of fun with it. If you want the best video quality, I of course recommend Adobe After Effects, but it’s way more expensive than this app, and you don’t need it unless you’re planning on making a lot of movies that need special effects. Good color, good opacity control, very simple interface. The lightning effect is very amateurish, but you can’t have everything. This program is definitely worth the money. I use After Effects now for all my video editing, but SaberFX is what got me interested in video editing in the first place. You want to do a “Star Wars” fan film? You could do a lot worse for your money. Bravo.

Oh, almost forgot. Two more downsides to this app. One, it will shrink the size of your film clip and two, it will erase your soundtrack. You’ll need to use iMovie to add your sound. Still a good beginner’s program.
