Neither Toolbook or Viewer 2.0 is a tool for editing video. For that, you will need to use something like the announced but not yet shipped product Media Merge from ATI. I believe that Media Merge had some kind of demo offer over in the Multimedia forum, where you could get a few disks that demos the product features. I have material on Media Merge in my book, PC VIdeo Madness, and since that book is now out I guess I can tell you that the product contains a storyboard editor for assembling clips and adding transitions, and a scene editor for modifying clips with things like overlays and such. It's an easy to use product, with a simple and functional interface. I like it quite a bit. There will also be other editors, but I don't know what exactly has officially been announced so far. Ron
