PS. It does take a while to render it when you're making the final product, but no more so with added text. What takes a long time is using lots of effects, and having large/high-quality clips. Actual time is goign to vary also dependign on your computer itself. I don't mind the rendering time. ULead lets me view the clips in full-motion/applied-effects very quickly in a preview window. Instantly by sliding my mouse over a selection of film "clip" or in matter of seconds by compiling to a mini-preview window. When I'm happy with everythign, I let it render the final product when I'm shopping/sleeping whatever. The platofrm clips I have onlline are unfortuantly crummy quality because of my limits with a dial up service, not the program.
