VIDEO CLIP BASICS
Adding video clips to your movie
There’s more than one way to add a video clip to your
movie:
Drag and drop: Drag a scene from the Video Scenes
section of the Album and drop it into the Movie
Window. This is normally the easiest and quickest way
to put together a rough cut of your movie.
Use the clipboard: The standard clipboard operations
(Cut, Copy and Paste) can be used with video clips in
the Movie Window. The Copy operation also works on
Album scenes.
When a scene or clip is pasted into the Movie Window,
it is inserted at the first clip boundary starting at the
edit line position. You can use the standard keyboard
shortcuts for clipboard operations (Ctrl+X for cut,
Ctrl+C for copy, Ctrl+V for paste), or select the desired
operation from the right-button menu.
If the Movie Window is in Timeline view, drop the
scene or clip onto the Video track. The only exception
would be in cases where you want only the audio
portion of the scene, in which case you can drop it onto
either of the lower two audio tracks instead.
Interface features
Studio provides a variety of visual cues regarding the
video clips in the Movie Window:
• Clips from video that was captured at preview
quality are shown with a white dotted outline. These
clips will be recaptured at full quality during the
Make Movie process.
