All I want is a fish eye and a pink or orange lens filter on a hero 8 black so I don’t have to buy a gimble. These fuckers want me to pay 55$ for 3 lens filter, then another 55$ for a case to attach those to and then for a fish eye another 55$ to a 3rd party

Use an iPhone. Stabilization is just as good and you can buy good fisheye clip-ons for like 15 bucks on Amazon.

side tip don’t use the fisheye on the iPhone camera app. Optical and digital stabilization won’t let it work the right way and the whole thing will wobble. Download the death-lens app and take off the camera stabilization.

I’ve been trying to find something decent used for a good price and all I have is a GoPro and an old panasonic camcorder but I can’t get the files from the dvds on it to convert to an mp4 no matter what I do

If this is actually what you're worried about you can add that afterward

you can't add a vignette in post because there are definitely visual effects that happen within the fringes of a vignette depending on the lighting of the scene. otherwise it would look like powerpoint or something with just this weird circle graphic over the top
