Dods,
The Avio offers all the tools you will need, including the ability to use audio from the original video and add two other tracks. You can take the audio from the original and use it wherever you want to as well.
Audio scrub means that you can hear or see the audio through a representation on the of it on the monitor as you edit it. The more expensive Casablanca Classic has this function, but is not available any more. The forthcoming Kron model, again a more expensive model, will have this capability. It is a nice feature, but not in any way liimiting as to your production ability or quality, since even when you have it, you must listen closely to the audio in order to decide where you want to cut. The Avio may offer this feature in the future as an upgrade.
The audio is not kept in fast or slow motion. Of course, the sound wouild be very distorted if it were available, so what would its value be?
The best option is to use a DV storage medium, either your camcorder or a DV deck, for storage.
There are a number of fonts that come with the unit, and they can be created in a wide variety of sizes, up to a size that will only allow a couple of letters on the screen. There are many options for scrolling, placing or fading pages of text. The quality is very, very good.
There are many transitions and effects. You will not find this a limiting factor. Again, the quality is very good.
The Avio is an all in one box, affordable, excellent quality digital editor that will provide a fine video product with a minimum amount of time spent learning its operation. The more you use it, the more you will find how powerful it is. It is a great machine at a very reasonable price.
