Effect
In Corel VideoStudio Pro, 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.
