I'm looking for other video visual-effects enthusiasts out there who are looking for good methods of creating/using visual/audio effects!!

Anyone out there know any software out there good for visual effects?
What about programs that can do blue-wall-background effects where you can change the background to something else? I've read you can do that in Premiere.. but how?

What about a good program for doing credits?
You see movies where the credits show during the beginning of the video, and fading in and out. The way I would do it make it using a logo and fade it in and out using Premiere. It's a long and tedious process. Is there an EASIER and SIMPLER and FASTER method of doing this? Any program that will do it for you easy??

What about ending scrolling-up credits? I do it using Flash.. but is there an easier way??

Check out my lastest home video short film (6minutes / 54megs).
It includes visual/audio special effects, and contains humour and action.
Let me know what you think. [Requires DivX5 codec to view -- Get it off www.DivX.com]

And let me know if there are easy ways of doing the effects I did in this video!! Thank you.

I hope I can contact other video visual-effects enthusiasts out there and we can work together to find/form good methods of creating visual/audio effects!!
