I love this program. Have used it many times to get short clips to show in services and this version makes some major improvements over its predecessor. Sorry all you PC users, this one is Mac only.

Do you speak and/or write in other languages and wish you didn’t have to go searching through character maps to find the symbols you are looking for?
