Ive always sworn by Adobe Premier, and had been using 6.5 for ages. Its such a nice program to use, and everything is layed out well. It may take a while to get used to, but once you get the swing of it, its really is a fantastic program to use. The possibilities are pretty much endless with it. Ive recently just changed to Sony Vegas 8.0, as Im too tight to upgrade my Premier to CS3, as I need HDi support. Its ok, but I still prefer Premier, for its easy layout and editing. Vegas is a little too complicated at first, but it does have the advantage of having XMC audio editor combined, which is nice. If you need any more help with it Adam, give me a shout over msn. Can send you some screen grabs ect, might mke it easier for you. Andy
