Thanks again. I wanted a pure AVI movie without compression. I believe however that I solved the problem. I was not reading carefully the export settings, but following the settings carefully, I was able to export the stills with the music as an AVI movie.
Although I have used the program before for traditional work in NLE of video, my interest is in stop motion animation, either by taking still shots (many hundreds of them) or composing still frames synthetically as CGs. My next challenge is to learn how to store large files on my website, which has a storage limit of course, and to allow people to view a short movie of relatively good quality. A good quality WMA file of the above sequence is about 40MB (1.5 min with sound) and a low quality is about 10MB. Either one of these is too much for my website, especially if one has several of those and the lower number has really lousy performance.
