Hmmm... shows you how much I know. I always thought that one of the beauties of digital editing was the loss free aspect thereof. As for why I export and then re-import a video segment, Pinnacle will slow to a crawl once a project gets "overloaded" with transitions, extra tracks, titles and other sfx.

Will do.

I suppose maybe I should upgrade but the thing is when Pinnacle works correctly (which it did for me until quite recently) it more than meets my requirements.

The Premiere and Vegas learning curves meanwhile look rather like the nasty side of Mt. Everest
