Please forgive the last minute change of plan.  Due to technical 
difficulties requiring a complete XP re-install, and various other 
issues, I'll demonstrate video editing using Pinnacle Studio Plus 
version 9 tonight, instead of Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0.  Although 
both are video editors and function essentially the same - i.e. capture 
video, edit, insert effects & transitions, add menus, and render to DVD 
or tape, the user interface is substantially different between the two 
programs.  Premiere Elements is quite a bit more complex and I don't 
have enough experience with it yet to do a decent presentation.  I'll 
demo Premiere Elements another time.

Your link *shows* August, but actually links to July.  So far there has 
been only one entry for July's challenge, and no August challenge has 
been submitted.
