CREATING A VIDEO -
OVERVIEW
Videos are constructed by combining still images and/or existing movie clips. All components are
arranged onto what’s called the “Storyboard.” When you make your final video, all of the
components on the Storyboard are combined together and saved as a single video file. In
addition to still images and videos, you can also add transitions between each component as well
as sound clips on two separate audio tracks.
The Storyboard
Confused? Don’t worry. We’ll talk more about the Storyboard later. It’ll all come together.
GETTING STARTED
When you first run the program, a window will appear that lets you choose the type of project
you want to make (you can also open previously saved projects). Choose “Create a New Video.”
A new window will appear. It will contain multiple options for gathering your video content.
For this walk-though, choose “Get From Album.” Even if you choose one of the other options,
you’ll end up at your albums soon or later. Albums contain shortcuts to files stored on your
system. You’ll grab most of your “media” for movie construction from your albums.
