My solution is the following: I capture and do the cut and paste in IM2. Also some transitions and effects you can do here but IM3 renders faster. If I'm satisfied I open it in IM3 and do the finishing touch No bugs from then.. Give it a try listas. It's a beautifull programm. You can always open your iMovie-file again in IM2 if you didn't use the new filters Regards Hans de Bijl
