PLE version to boost the potential user base

PLE means 'personal learning edition' like that of the new toon boom pro
or maya ple, or motion builder ple etc.

of course you'd need to add a bunch of free taining videos/html
pages to make the learning curve fun and shallow.

just make it with a watermarked overlay and restrict the final
output size to just under pal res.

The trial of the professional edition allow the user to test it without time restriction but he can not save his work. It is already a PLE edition!
