I guess you must have missed my message. In case it has scrolled off I've copied it here. >> Hi Jeremy I'm back with a few more questions if you don't mind. Will the Kai Power tools be the complete set or just a special subset selection for use with Studio? What I was getting at with the Powerpoint, Astound importation into Studio was that all slides from a presentation would be imported and converted into a native Studio file format. This is what Gold Disk tried with their Astound package for hijacking (so to speak) PPT & Harvard files. Reality rarely meets advertising expectation though <g>. They still can't get PPT 3.0 files to import correctly and no word on 4.0 files. As you say you can cut and paste objects between packages. I was hoping there might be something a little cleaner. What about OLE support? Will Studio be a client or client\server? What kind of tools, features can we expect for the Dig.Video side of Studio? Will Studio be Win95 (or is that Win9x) compatible? << Thanks Mike

Mike, Sorry it's been so long, but I've been on the road. I got your messsage the first time, but forgot to respond. So here it goes… <Will the Kai Power tools be the complete set or just a special subset selection for use with Studio?> It hasn't been decided yet how the Kai tools will be implemented yet. I understand what you're saying regarding the importation of PPT files, but the way I described is the only way possible at this time. <What about OLE support? Will Studio be a client or client\server?> There will be OLE support in Studio, not sure about the second half of that question. <What kind of tools, features can we expect for the Dig.Video side of Studio?> Well, Animator Studio has full AVI support and several compression options for output as well as an audio editing tool. Most tools for recording or capturing are a feature of the hardware/software combination for the video capture card, in other words, they're proprietary. <Will Studio be Win95 (or is that Win9x) compatible?> If Windows95 supports Windows 3.1 apps, then yes. I know the next question-don't ask. I could tell you, but (you know the rest).<g> Jeremy
