Some things to think about regarding the flyer:  For ease or use it is
unmatched on any platform - if you can cut and paste in a WP you can edit.

*But*  For ultradetail work - like say if you were a foley artist trying
to do precise dropins, I wouldn't reccomend it. It's only synchs audio +/-
two frames (at least version 4 did when I was using it).  Also I worked
for a place that had a flyer and a PAR and without a doubt the PAR is
better as an animation recorder.

For basic editing though -- weddings, commercials, industrial video, it is
an unbelievable time saver - I truly mean unbelievable -- every video and
audio clip has an icon and you just setup your icons and switcher effects
in proper order an *bampow!* -- the project is done.
