Hi all.

First of all I should say that I'm a complete video making rookie. I'm
however a musician and composer and I've got the idea that videoes to some
of my tracks may help a bit on the exposition of them, so I want to try out
if I can do something in this area.

At the moment I think I'm mostly into some animated stuff, and I've a bit
with Ulead Videostudio but my main problem is to get it synchronized
correcly to the video. That is: I find it difficult to make the
animations/still images change at specific beats in the music track and so
on.

Do you have any advice regarding software or something else that will help
me in this process?

Thanks in advance.

Alfred:
I don't do much NLE editing but when I do, I use Adobe Premiere
Elements V7.0. I'm pretty sure it has a built in function to enable
cutting on the beats of an audio track.

My Premiere Elements 4 has it. My only caveat is the usual:
Premiere isn't a very good program for editing HD (see my
http://www.donferrario.com/ruether/hdv-editing.htm for why...),
but it is fine for SD.
