if I could explain my setup - I need a little advice. I really like what I see from the product info here. What I'm attempting to do and the potential issues:

Record piano playing from 2 or 3 cameras. Audio - rock solid, i'm using a TASCAM interface and pro mics, etc.

1) However, when i'm done I would have multiple angled recordings - does PowerDirector10 support this? In other words I would have 3 vid recordings on the timeline, choosing which I want, when and where (yes I know I could cut them but that sounds time consuming)

2) Does Powerdirector support split views - take several pieces and display them in boxes on the screen (the guitar player, piano, etc) from different takes on the screen at once?

2) Problem - align the .wav audio files and vid recordings.. i understand that some video programs can auto detect the wav freq recordings and align them. (I'm aware of using a hollywood clack /take bar to do this by hand.. )

Thank you !!!

G'day Tim -

The answer to your TOPIC question is YES!

Very basically:

1. Multi-camera shoots can be edited by using different tracks
a. by varying opacity of different sections of each clip
b. by splitting or trimming out unwanted sections
- it's just a fact of life that this sort of editing is time-consuming, but the result will show it!

2. PD facilitates split screens in just about any configuration you can imagine.

3. The simplest thing is to select the "best" quality audio track & remove the others (or mute them) after everything's synced.

Cheers - Tony
