Gotcha.... Yeah, Acid Pro is about 300 dollars, but Acid Music (which does allow for synchronization to AVI's) is only about $50. Another nice thing about the Acid family is that it allows you to construct very cool music for use however you like. You can check it out at --www.acidplanet.com or www.sonicfoundry.com -- either one will get you to their pages -- as well as the pages for Sound Forge. Both are worth looking at. I have Sound Forge, too; it's really powerful for editing sounds, and it's kind of limited for linking them to video. It's only designed for running one sound at a time, so if you're mixing sounds, you have to get them at exactly the right place the first time, or it's stuck. Using Premiere's audio tracks or Acid allows you to have several independent audio tracks running simultaneously, and if you put the gunshot sound down at the wrong time, you just move it a couple frames (or beats) forward or backward. The two versions are Sound Forge and Sound Forge XP. XP is the limited edition, but is really pretty powerful, even if it's limited. OK, I'll stop prattling on and on. - Dex
