would you suggest that I delete everyting that I have done and start with something smaller? As I said in the other posting that I am way new and am feeling that I've undertaken something that I have no clue about. I reposted to to your suggestion. Why do you think that there is such a size descrepancy between what I did in one program as opposed to another. And will that monster file compress down to something that will fit on a disk. Did I use to many effects? I want to be able to make this look nice but it's useless if it doesn't fit on a disk. How do I control the file formats so I can make the files smaller.. and is there a better way to import that files instead of avi? I am using an analog video recorder that has to import through another program as this one doesn't recognize the media. Am I over my head with this stuff. Perhpas you could suggest a website to learn at or if I may be so bold, could you email me, then we could discuss it at your leisure. Any suggestions from you or anyone would be of great help. I read the manual but it doesn't realy offer suggestions to this and I really don't want to pay 100 bucks for support only to be told that I am doing it right and my file is just too darn big.

Thanks in Advance.
