Chapter 4: Video Clips 57
Chapter 4:
Video Clips
The cornerstone of most Studio video projects is the
Album section containing your captured video scenes.
To create your edited movie, you drag scenes from the
Album into the Movie Window, where they are treated
as editable video clips.
This chapter explains how to set the “in” and “out”
(start and end) points for each clip. The Movie
Window’s editing interface makes this “trimming”
process simple, rapid and precise. The methods covered
here for trimming video clips can for the most part also
be applied to the other types of clip (such as titles and
sound effects) that are covered in later chapters.
A later section of the chapter covers more advanced
editing techniques, including split edits and insert edits,
that can give your movie a more professional look. See
“Advanced Timeline editing” on page 68.
Finally, we’ll look at two tools for applying special
effects to your video clips: the Adjust colour/Add visual
effects tool (see page 75), and the Vary playback speed
tool (see page 77).
