Sounds like "The GIMP" for the power and the long learning curve. We don't have Firewire so that's not a problem. I looked at their web site for a minute and some of the documentation is available in Spanish, which is a big plus for my wife. She can become our expert, if we go with Cinelerra. I'm going to try to get it with Yum now. Lanny
