Chapter 1:
The Studio Interface
Creating movies with Studio is a three-step process:
1. Capture: Import source video material to your PC
hard drive.
2. Edit: Arrange the material as desired by reordering
scenes and discarding unwanted footage. Add visuals,
such as transitions, titles and graphics, and
supplementary audio, such as sound effects and
background music. For DVD and VCD authoring,
create interactive menus that give your audience a
customised viewing experience.
3. Make movie: Generate the finished movie in your
choice of format and storage medium.
Set which step of the movie-making process you want
to work on with the three mode buttons at the top left of
the Studio window:
Undo, Redo and Help
To the right of the mode buttons are
the Undo, Redo and Help buttons.
Undo allows you to back out of any changes you have
made to your project during the current session, one
step at time. Redo reinstates the changes one by one if
you undo too far. The Help button launches Studio’s
on-line help system.
