bkev,

Thanks for the suggestion. What I'll do instead of adding more real world examples is refer people to other documentaries (such as Terrorstorm). But....I don't think that I want to go in and add all sorts of historical footage, myself (and re-write and re-narrate, on top of it!)

Still, I definitely think it's a good suggestion and I appreciate the thought.

I was pretty proud of getting that much out of MovieMaker. I think one of the big tricks was using Audacity to take care of the audio so that I didn't have to keep re-rendering it (since MovieMaker only allows for one audio track) and losing image quality with each new render. But I just worked very hard. Now it's so great to become more proficient with Blender!
