Jim, I use a free app called Film Maker Pro on my iPad. I don't know if it's just for Apple or not. Still learning, but it's pretty easy to get started. If you get it, I can save a couple hours to get you right to it. Hope this helps, it's a lot of fun!

Thanks AGP. Many of our traditional tunes have a Scots/Irish heritage.
Thanks Richard. If I could figure out that picture in picture thing I'd be cloning like crazy!
