George,
Sculpt 3D is wonderful. The only thing is you have to go on vacation
for two weeks while it creates an animation for you. Sad but true.
The Director is a godsend. I have managed to turn a haphazard
collection of images into a coherent presentation time and again. As to music
files, it doesn't SEEM to be able to play DMCS scores. At least, I've tried and
failed to get it to work. Perhaps I should actually READ the documentation this
time!
I have a BA in Video Production and can best be described as a
"professional hobbyist". I have produced and edited videos for my friends and
family (mostly weddings and the like) and am on the verge of going
"semi-professional" with it.
