Bob_Robertson May 11, 2012 9:51 AM EDT	I have a project in mind to take "make a music video". I have an existing .avi file to use as lead-in and lead-out, I can get the music relatively easily, and I would like most of it to be simple cuts/fades, maybe pans and zooms, of .jpgs It would be nice to be able to splice in some other .avi, .mpg or other video, too, now that I think about it. All timed to the music, of course. Yes, I know I'm a decade late in wanting to do a personal music video, but one does what one has a project to do. Which of the numerous applications (avidumux, cinelara, etc) that I've seen referenced would you suggest?

And I believe it does pans and zooms too. It's simple to learn, and there is a good user manual. If you try it and get stuck give me a poke and I can probably help. I just made a little movie with it, and it was quite fun.

Bob_Robertson May 11, 2012 2:21 PM EDT	TC, just looking at the web site, not even into the manual yet, it does seem perfect. Thank you.
