STEP 1 – MEDIA
This first step is where you select the “media” (still images, videos, and sound clips) that you
want to use to create your movie. All you need to do is choose the components you want and
add them to the Storyboard. When you save—or “produce”—your movie, all the components on
the Storyboard will be combined together into a single video file.
Let’s look at the Storyboard again:
The Storyboard
The large squares are reserved for still images and video clips. The two horizontal bars beneath
are reserved for audio tracks. The smaller squares between the still image/video clip
components are for “transitions.” You’ll learn more about transitions later.
The top-left area of the program
contains your albums. Use the pull-
down to choose the one you want.
To create a new album, choose
“<New Album>” from the pull-
down. Click the Add button ( ) to
browse your system for files to add
to it. You can create multiple
albums to keep track of different
types of photos (i.e., keep all your
vacation photos in one album,
separate from your miscellaneous
family photos, etc.).
You can differentiate the types of
files within an album by the way
they look. Images simply appear as
thumbnails. Video files appear as
filmstrips. Audio files have a default
speaker icon.
