Undocumented feature; press "P" (Peak) during the drawing and now you can draw with sharp corners. Redraw does become slower but it works. Even Lost Marble didn't know about this until someone mentioned it in the forum (can't remember who it was ).

Thanks mr.blaaa and I share your feelings about the lack of seriousness. That's not to say it isn't a valid offer, but on the internet it can be hard to judge the motivations of another person or company. I've done a couple of commercial projects with the clients based overseas and no contact apart ...

Wax is more a video compositing system like After Effects but quite powerful and free to use. Wax can also work as a plug-in with several video editing programs. The same developer also has some other good video tools like a frame server and a morphing program.

You asked for freeware so here is one: http://www.thugsatbay.com/tab/?q=zweistein Zweistein in the only freeware editor I know with a more Premiere type approach, for simpler use try Microsoft Movie Maker. I tried Zweistein a couple of years ago and hated it myself but it's worth a try since it's fr...
