Piece is a broad guage look at a company's products. It will be sales
tool. As I think I said earlier, the client will use it as a DVD for
computer and NTSC presentation.

The piece could be considered to be a video of a Powerpoint
presentation. The presenter will be talking and backed up by the
Powerpoint slides. The slides are animated in the typical ways; I
needs a way to integrate them with the footage of the presenter.

Must be a common problem. (?)
