The AH film viewer/editor is less than a perfect thing, and it does have a few ommisions that would make movies so much better and easier. That said, I just dont htink its a huge priority for HT, as so few use it at all, and the few who do have only a few that make movies.
As its stands now, it takes about 2-4 hours to glean 4-6 minutes of good footage by the time you preview the films to mark the times, and record to avi from several angles. After that actual editing and production of a final film takes anywhere from 2-12 hours depsnding on the complexity and level of quality. This is with a film with full sound effects, voice overs and music of course.
Ah well....I have fun with it anyway:aok
