Hi Scott, >> I would like to see an application that would allowed me to create a sound track then record it on a VTR starting at a particular frame. None of our current product offerings are intended for this purpose, and as such, don't support it. Depending on the level of control/interaction between the audio editing app and the VTR, you would at the very least need some sort of timing/synchronization information coming from the VTR into the PC (i.e., SMPTE, MIDI, Sony Frame Code, or something of that sort) for the app to be aware of timing/playback offsets on the VTR source, or possibly communications going both ways, if you wanted the app to actually control the VTR source. Since decks that are widely available/affordable don't really supply a universal standard, it's difficult to produce a PC-based "audio for video" editing suite with consumer equipment, but manageable with professional equipment. However, because we make all our products very affordable ($59.95 SRP and lower), it's imperative that we stick to the "widely available" capabilities currently available. Thanks for your interest. Hope I answered your question (as opposed to leaving you more confused than when I started!) Tom Baggett Animotion Development
