RE: Studio Magic >>Could we use graphics (like WMF files?)? Could we use programs like Powerpoint in pre-production?<< >Can't use .WMF files, but you CAN use .AAS, .BMP, .DIB, .FLC, .FLI, .GIF, .SMS, .PCX, .TGA, and .GTIF files. Not sure if you can use PowerPoint in preproduction–how do you intend to use it?< I would like to let community producers do simple titles on their home PCs, without genlock hardware. I'm willing to explore any solution that doesn't look really jaggy or very low quality. I am interested in recommendations from anyone who has tried it. Thanks for the answers! Jim Gast

Jim: >I would like to let community producers do simple titles on their home PCs, without genlock hardware.

You're not looking at a high-end genlock, mind, but the titles don't come out jaggy and the sync is okay (again, not pro level, but good enough for consumer quality titling, etc.). Hope this helps, Tim
