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.
