Render
Rendering is the process of making a finished movie from the source files in a project.
Scenes
A scene is a series of continuous frames. In Corel VideoStudio, each scene that is captured
by using the Split by Scene feature is based on the recording date and time of the footage.
In a captured DV AVI file, scenes can be separated into several files based on the recording
date and time of the footage or based on changes in the content of the video. In an MPEG-
2 file, the content changes are used to separate scenes into files.
Shutter Speed
This camera setting measures the amount of time that the shutter remains open. The shutter
speed is measured in seconds. Fast shutter speeds are usually in fractions of a second (1/500,
1/250, 1/125, etc.). Slow shutter speeds are measured as whole numbers (1, 10, 30, etc.).
Smart Render
Smart Render technology saves time when generating previews by rendering only the parts
that have been modified from your last render operation.
Split by scene
This feature automatically splits up different scenes into individual files. In Corel VideoStudio,
the way scenes are detected depends on which step you are in. In the Capture workspace,
Split by Scene detects individual scenes based on the original footage's recording date and
time. In the Edit workspace, if Split by Scene is applied to a DV AVI file, scenes can be
detected in two ways: by the recording date and time, or by the changes in the content of
the video. Whereas in an MPEG file, scenes are detected only based on the content changes.
Storyboard
A Storyboard is a visual representation of your movie. Individual clips are represented as
image thumbnails on the Timeline.
Streaming
Allows large files to be played as they are being downloaded. Streaming is commonly used
for large video and audio files that are made available on the Internet through video-sharing
Web sites.
Template
A work pattern in a software program. They are predefined formats and settings to serve as
guides in making projects.
Timecode
The timecode of a video file is a numerical way of representing the position in a video.
Timecodes can be used to make very accurate edits.
Timeline
The Timeline is a graphic representation of your movie in chronological order. The relative
size of clips on the Timeline gives you an accurate idea of the length of your media clips and
the relative positions of titles, overlays and audio.
