- I have and use both Director & Premier. The packages are meant
- to do entirely diferent things. Premier is just for editing
- Quicktime movies. Director is designed to develop
- 2D animations/presentations and output them in several file
- formats, one of which is Quicktime. Director also has its own
- versatile scripting language, Lingo. It is possible to edit a
- Quicktime movie in Premier and then integrate it into a much
- larger, interactive program developed in Director.

- Hope this helps.
