The packages are meant to do entirely diferent things. Premier is just for editing Quicktime movies. Director is designed to develop 2D animations/presentations and output them in several file formats, one of which is Quicktime. Director also has its own versatile scripting language, Lingo. It is possible to edit a Quicktime movie in Premier and then integrate it into a much larger, interactive program developed in Director. Hope this helps. -- John Jackson jmj5g@galen.med.virginia.edu Office of Medical Education jmj5g@virginia.edu University of Virginia (804)924-5839
