Hi Steve, before you start splicing I would strongly recommend that you go for a digital version. A cut may only effect a couple of frames, but it is permanent. Save your footage first. This gives you the added advantage of being able to try out edits on the digital copy - ALWAYS keep one master copy untouched!!! It will give you more freedom to explore the effect of different, and perhaps more daring, cuts and also make it much easier to try out fades and overlays.
good luck with it. Yen
