Pretty inexpensive, as well. It's not perect. The lack of ripple editing is a pain in the backside when adding sounds and moving stuff around in the timeline. We've had to devise particular workflows to overcome this but I guess that's the same for every bit of software. It's also not great on a network as it needs to write stuff to the C: drive. There are workarounds and patches available but it's a headache. Having said that, it's a really good intro for younger kids to non-linear editing and it's brilliant for all areas of the curriculum. We've done stuff with it for literacy, science, MFL, drama, media etc. Always happy to let you have a play We bought Sight and Sound in 2006 and it’s been our workhorse for dozens of different projects so it’s had more use than any other piece of software in the arsenal, so good value in that sense.

Would you say Revelation Sight and Sound is worth the money? We use Photostory or Movie Maker at the mo, neither of which is perfect by any means. Hi Chris,
