...demonstrate, Avid effects specialist Kent Petersen clicks on a video clip of two actors walking against a blue backdrop. Petersen points his cursor to a scene of a grassy field, drags it over the icon of the clip, and suddenly the actors are strolling through the field. Something's missing, though. Petersen pulls down an editing menu and clicks, and shadows appear behind the actors...
...former senator (James Cromwell) trying to reconnect with his three grown daughters in Seattle (let's hope none of them are wolves). On the plus side, given the swelling Americana theme music, some viewers may think it's "The West Wing."

And we never have to see the cases go through...
