question 1- is it possible to have the audio at different levels during the
same clip? i know how to raise the volume and mute, but for instance, could i
have the audio level loud at the beginning of the clip and slowly fade out by
the end of the clip?

question 2- if i'm saving clips as WMV but want to record back to tape
later, will i be able to convert to AVI or do i have to capture as AVI to
start? reason being untill i know what clips are really going to be used i
want to conserve disk space. basically the question is can i convert WMV
clips to AVI?

the work-around for the first one would be to put the same clip on the
audio/music track and overlap it with a silent audio clip, and mute the one
on the video track. The overlap with the muted clip would do the long fade..
a silent clip is any clip that is muted.

yes, you can make DV-AVI files from WMV regardless of where they came from.
