There are some very cheap and good NLE's out there for under $100, which are perfectly sufficient for animators, since we do not use cameras, special effects, color corrections and all the cheesy stuff the expensive NLEs so love to push. It is really better when working on a longer film anyway than to attempt to do this within the Project TAB. I always have both these software constantly opened and switch back and forth between them all day long. I just described to you my work flow which I use to this day. Keep updating your AVI's as your animation progresses so that any time you wish to see how your clips play together, you can go to your NLE for an overview - re-edit, change soundtracks etc.

From there you can copy the portion of the soundtrack that covers each clip and import those into your TVP,s clips to start your animation.

There you can stretch and shrink your clips with ease, match to a soundtrack, create dissolves etc. I suggest you export your storyboard as individual uncompressed AVIs and import these clips into an NLE where you should begin your film's edit timeline.
