Ed,
Thanks...the split clip and delete method will work. Maybe zooming in a
bunch on the clip will help with finer cuts.
I downloaded a freeware application called ABC Videoroll...after playing
around with it for a bit I noticed that it at least can capture video
from the LEGO cam and has more sophisticated editing tools. I am
debating whether it would be worthwhile to learn to use this program
instead of LEGO Studios. One big advantage is the ability to save clips
in a variety of formats...but a big disadvantage is that I cannot find
out how to do stop-motion with it.
I also downloaded the trail version of Pinnacle Systems Studios...it's a
lot like LEGO Studios with a more grown-up interface. But I didn't see
a stop-motion section for it either...I never tested to see whether it
picked up the camera signal.
I will probably stick with LEGO Studios...I hope an update does come out
soon. My three wishes (in order) would be:
Ability to save as an uncompressed movie file of some sort
Ability to switch to 640x480 resolution (although this may slow down the
fps too much)
Finer Editing Controls
