Using CineMagic to create movies
CineMagic creates fun movies from your photos and videos by selecting
photos and scenes from your videos and splicing them together. To be able
to produce a movie, CineMagic must have twice as much video footage as
desired in the final movie. For example, if you want your movie to be 10
minutes long, you must provide at least 20 minutes of video for CineMagic
to select from.
Note If there are specific scenes that you want to make sure are
included, you can identify them. You can also identify scenes that
you want to have excluded.
To open CineMagic:
■
From Creator’s main application window, select the Video-Movies
task category and choose Edit Video.
or
■
In VideoWave, in the Tools area, click New CineMagic Production.

Creating a video disc using Plug & Burn
Plug & Burn provides a quick and easy way to capture video from your DV
camera directly to a disc. You can capture selected scenes, or the entire
video tape.
If you have an analog capture card installed on your computer, Plug & Burn
also allows you to capture analog video to a disc.
