Good luck with the editing... It appears that my camera also, by Kodak, outputs videos in .mov format.

I found a program, by Waseo, called TextArranger. It seems like it may do what you want. I tried once, and it is pretty good, for free.

Also, much smaller that MS Word to use

Nice animation... There is a good chance that the animation will be put on my website, linking to Donationcoder.com (and a credit to nudone)

I tried it before, and it is well done. The presentation editor is excellent and is able to insert Powerpoint files. It does have a few minor bugs, but overall it is excellent. Helps with displaying Powerpoint presentations on computers, without Powerpoint.

Mostly Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET)

I recently tried out Scribus, and it was fine for most purposes. The program does take some time to load if you have a lot of fonts installed, though. Overall, it is good to perfect. For the more advanced items, I use Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org).

I use PDFCreator. The program is quick and converts documents quickly.
I don't know why, but PrimoPDF would not run on my computer (why I use PDFCreator)

Another site you can use to find icons is at The Icon Factory at www.iconfactory.com

There are many icon sets, just go to the Icon Cold Storage.

By the way... great programs! :)
