[senit] dramatic cause-effect programs

Hi David

thanks Claire. Switchit facemaker was great on red
nose day! I like switchitmaker 2 and have made a few
photostory switch videos. however the type of
animation in switchit-patterns would be difficult to
do in sw maker 2? the sen-switcher uses flash files
but they wont go in sw maker 2? any other solutuins to
getting that type of effect with ability to put in
your own music?
