I'd like to add to Tom's request with a few more specific questions. (Picked up a little money in Xmas gifts and am close to buying.) Does V-Lab Motion commandeer an entire HD partition, or does it just create files on an existing partition? Is it worth while getting the sound board at the same time? How well does the sound editing system work? How many tracks are supported and is there any provision for controlling the level of each track so that complex sound "layering" can be achieved? Thanks in advance. …Warp Engine Engaged… -Paul-
