Production Flow
The digital movie production process involves a
combination of artistry and technology, beginning
with raw video footage and ending with a movie
production burned to disc. CyberLink PowerProducer
provides the easiest way to produce your finished
movie and burn it to the medium of your choice.
Pre-Production
Before you produce your movie using
CyberLink PowerProducer, you must first
gather (or create) its component parts: video
files, photos, and background music.
You may collect raw footage yourself with a
camcorder or other recording device, or you
may simply use non-copyright protected media
files that you have on hand.
You may even have already created your own
movie in a video editing software program, such
as CyberLink PowerDirector.
Whatever the case, you should have all of the
bits and pieces of your movie on hand so that
the production process goes as smoothly as
possible.
