You will be amazed with what you can do. Sound Edit does a great job and it will work out very well if you do not have a sound application and you are thinking about buying Director. Strongly consider making the investment and purchasing Multimedia Studio with Sound Edit 16 instead of Director alone, because as far as sound goes, this may be all you need. I am hooked on it for many reasons, yet my strongest reason is the fact that I find it so easy to use. The graphical user interface is simple to understand and Director is a great tool for people who do not have much programming experience.
Director makes it easy to get almost instant results.
Director works on the analogy of a play. You are obviously the Director. Objects that you import into Director are called Cast Members. Cast members can be a variety of different things. They include sound clips, Quicktime movies, images, text fields, and Quickdraw objects.
