Start Creating Videos Let’s take a look at the basic video creation workflow. It all starts with a video clip Translate your vision into reality Start with the free video, photo, and audio clips in the Library to enhance your project. Then import more files to make the movie truly your own. Changes made to files imported into the Library do not affect the original files. With the shoot done and your video clips saved, it’s time to start the video-editing process.
