New video software

[Scott Baldwin]

Here is a new software application, that seems to fall somewhere 
between iMovie and Final Cut Express in features and price.  It is 
called Montage and is available here:

http://www.arboretum.com/

The price is $149.00.

I downloaded the demo, and on first look I like it.  It is a a lot more 
versatile than iMovie, in particular in it's treatment of audio. 
(Aboretum is a well established Mac audio product company)

You can lay out an infinite(!) number of video tracks and stills in one 
window and cut, paste drag and connect  at will. some rudimentary video 
editing is available.  The time line is much more sophisticated than 
iMovie.

You can have an infinite number of audio tracks!  Basic audio editing 
can be done.

It imports and exports in a much wider variety of formats than imovie.

The downside is that there is not as many transitions and effects 
available yet as there is for imovie.  (and you have to pay for it!)

Take a look at the demo and see what you think.

Cheers,

Scott
