You can leave all the settings as they are, just put Your Name in the Name box and click OK.

Make sure you have chosen Widescreen if you have used one of our cameras, but the programme should correct itself if it’s a different format so don’t worry about this too much. As long as its on one of the 4 options with DV-PAL. Don’t worry about renaming the sequence either just hit OK.

Go to File – Import and find any media files you want to edit. They will then ‘index’ or ‘conform’ into the programme and when loaded will appear here.

Any Videos should be saved in ‘Videos’ on the computer, any Music in ‘Music’ and so forth, never import straight from a Flash Drive. Click Open.

You will then see them being loaded – evident from a yellow bar here.

Programme in a nutshell.

Drag videos into timeline.Any audio from the clip will automatically be connected and put in the ‘Audio’ if you don’t want it right click and ‘unlink’ then you can click on them separately and do what you want with either sound or video.

Razor tool to cut clips.Selection tool to select clips.

It won’t automatically cut the clip when you click the razor tool like in Pinnacle, it’ll just change your mouse to enable you to cut where ever you want on the timeline, then go back to selection tool to delete which bit you want.

‘Window’ on the top bar, shows what you can see in the programme. Here you select ‘Effects’ and this window will appear. You can pull down any one of these and apply your video. Transitions sit in between two clips just select and drag over to the timeline. Effects can be double clicked when a clip in the timeline is selected or drag over the effect to certain clip. Then go back to ‘Window’ and select ‘Effect Controls’ to edit the effect on the clip.
