I am loking for Professional movie and CGI programs. If someone could give me any names of Professional ones it would be a big help. Do not worry about prices.

i don't know what do you mean.

but maybe virtualdub would work.

adobe aftereffects and houdini are good from what ive heard as far as effects go... but they're quite expensive...

http://www.pricegrabber.com/ Here's a list of different websites to get adobe after effects and upgrades.

Adobe After Effects would be the way to go for CGI.

As for editing, Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5

After Effects and Premiere Pro are both excellent programs. I have both (since I got bootleg ), and if you work on improving your skills on after effects, then you can go straight to the pros

Use Lightwave for CGI, and Adobe Plasma Effects 9.4.
