Can I enter stills and video into the Wizard and then have them randomly shuffled as opposed to me manually moving them? I just don't want them in a time-based order. I then plan to move that file over to the Editor for some more tweaking. Thanks.

You can insert both using the wizard, however I don't think the wizard will randomly shuffle them. The wizard will keep them in the order that you have inserted them. You would have to "shuffle" them manually.
In the wizard you have a sort function, that sorts by name or date. Unless all the clips have the same date or same name, this would cause them to be randomly sorted. Then another way is to use the Arrange Icons By.. in Windows Explorer. In the folder where the clips you want to use are located, right-click in a blank area (not on a clip), to get the menu. Then select the Arrange Icons by.. and you will see that you can arrange them by Name, Size, Type and Modified. In folders containing video clips you have the additional choices of Duration, and Dimensions. Once you have them re-arranged, then insert them. Short of those, I think you will have to manually re-arrange them.
