Glossary 233
In Corel VideoStudio, an effect is a special computer generated attribute applied to video
clips that alters the appearance and quality of video to achieve a certain look.
Ev
The acronym stands for Exposure Value or the combination of settings for the aperture,
shutter speed and ISO when the camera is in P (Programmed), S or Tv (shutter priority), or
Av (aperture priority) mode. Adjusting the Ev can either overexpose or underexpose an
image deliberately.
Export
The process of sharing files. When you export a file, the data is usually converted into a
format that is recognizable by the receiving application. The original file remains unchanged.
Fade
A transition effect where the clip gradually disappears or appears. In video, the picture would
gradually change to or from a solid color; or from one image to another. For audio, the
transition would be from full volume to complete silence or vice-versa.
FireWire
A standard interface used for connecting digital audio/video devices such as DV camcorders
to computers. It is Apple’s trademarked name for the IEEE-1394 standard.
Footage
A length of recorded film intended for use in a larger project.
Frame
A single image in a movie.
Frame Rate
The number of frames per second in a video. NTSC video is commonly 29.97 frames per
second (fps) while PAL has 25 fps, but smaller video files can be created on the computer by
using lower frame rates.
Frame Size
The size of displayed images in video or animation sequences. If an image intended for the
sequence is larger or smaller than the current frame size, it must be resized or cropped.
HDV
HDV is a format for recording and playback of high-definition video on a DV cassette tape.
Announced in 2003 as an affordable high definition format, HDV video supports resolutions
up to 1440 × 1080 and is compressed with MPEG-2. HDV audio is compressed using MPEG-
1 Layer 2.
HTML5
A version of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) standard that has increased feature
support compared to previous versions. HTML5 is particularly useful in integrating audio and
video files into web pages.
