Hi

I tried out-puting the files as individual files and putting them back together in Virtual Dub last night, and I could 't get it to maintain the lip sync.

Almost every thing I do has speech involved.

After going through Virtual dub and then recombining the video file with the sound file in Premiere it didn't sync any more.  I'm going to try it again today and see what happens.

I've often output the video from Poser and then later combined it with the sound and it always maintained perfect sync.

I don't have any problem out-puting the files as .avi files and then importing them into Premiere Elements and editing them and I'm pretty sure I can process the files using it too.  I'll give that a try today.

But the only times that I've used frames is when I wanted to do post processing in Photoshop.

So I guess you can go either way, but I'm going to do some more testing with the lip sync thing.

I do recommend that you download Premiere Elements trial and give it a try, it has some pretty high requirements from your computer so you should make sure it run well on your system before you buy it.  

The nice thing about PE is that it will out put virtually any format including flash, so there isn't really anything you can't do with it.  

You can have multiple video tracks and up to 5 sound tracks and combine them any way you want, use transparency, combine images etc. and it's very easy to use.

You can make a really professional looking movie.  You can also output you movie directly to your YouTube account.
