    Makes stop motion really easy, and without a huge learning curve. delve deeper and you'll find some really neat little touchs to help make your productivity and creativity that little bit more effective.

    I liked the demo so much i bought the pro version!

    the single star is for looks alone....it looks great but mine died on only its third use!

    After transferring some files to it (which it did do quickly), it ejected itself from my desktop, beeped a pathetic dying squeal then just flashed an ominous red led. According to G-Tech it must be a bad drive!
    Really? They ain't kidding...if a hdd can't last more than three power-us before kicking the bucket, then i want nothing more to do with them.
    I need reliability, and this is not.

    wish i had the format ranges to really test this...but it works flawlessly with the digibeta and 10bit uncompressed pal that i use.
