Hi Scott, >> do I now have a choice between Razor Pro and Adobe Premiere as an editor… << Yes and several other possibilities open up as well including Animator Studio… which is what I'm working on linking. Basically instead of converting the whole file it provides a pointer and allows you to read in an ANI as though it were an AVI and vice versa… I'm not quite sure how sophisticated this particular version is… I haven't been able to play a reduced size set of images yet… but it will run on the second monitor and it may be because I don't have the small compression chip on this older PAR. The new ones come with the chip I believe. These smaller images then become your reference for editing. And it does seem that it should be a very rapid way of handling these animation files… maybe not as fast as RP I don't know but it seems very quick… I like the idea of linking Ani Studio to this process as it is in many ways an ideal companion for this arrangement, its different than RP which is really set up for editing, where as Ani Studio is set up for layering and painting… but its pretty evident where you could use the layering in much the same way and create some very unique transitions almost seamlessly… So yes this opens up alot of possibilities in fact anything that can read an AVI file and manipulate it is a candidate… 🙂 You'll want to get the TBC btw, something I've lived without, but once you get into this, your hard drive shrinks and your appetite for importing video grows… <G> John
