Well, Ulead saw the problem, [...]

Regular visitors to this site will know that the Nerd not only flies—he edits video (for fun, not money).

I have two video editing programs on my PC at present—both from Taiwanese software house Ulead.

For high-end (non-professional) editing, it’s hard (for the price) to go past MediaStudio Pro 7. (But note that MSP8 is [...]
