video film and ‘Burn Disc Images’ to save the final result on a CD-ROM or a
DVD (see figure 15).
4.
Select ‘Capture Video’. A new window will appear.
5.
Select the ‘Edit’ tab. The video clips on the camera can now be added.
6.
Click on the folder icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the window. Find the
files you wish to include in the video film. These can also be read directly
from the camera. To do so, connect the camera and select ‘DV disk’ (see
figure 7).

Select the video files to be used and click on ‘Open’. The video clips will be
visible in the window as icons.

Select a video clip by clicking on it and play it to see if it is the correct video
clip.

If you wish, shorten the fragments by decreasing the length of the green line
under the video using the slide bars.

Place all the fragments in the correct order by clicking on them and dragging
them to the correct location. You have now completed the editing.

Select all the fragments to be included in the final film by clicking on them
whilst pressing the CTRL key on your keyboard.
12.
Click on the ‘Make Movie’ button (bottom button of the 4 buttons in the top
left-hand corner). A list of video formats will appear (see figure 16). The
choice of video format depends on the use. Select VCD 352 x 288 (PAL) if it
is to be saved on a CD-ROM which is to be played on a home player or
select DVD 720 x 567 low quality (PAL) if it is to be saved on a DVD. Select
one of the WMV formats if the video film is to be used on a website. Consider
selecting MPEG-2 352 x 240 low quality NTSC if the video film is only to be
played on a computer. After selecting a format, a window will appear in which
you can specify a file name and a location for the final result.

Input a name and specify a folder to save the file in.
14.
Click on ‘Save’. All the video fragments will be joined together and converted
into the chosen format.

Wait until the file conversion has been completed. This can take a lot longer
than it takes to play the video film (particularly for the MPEG-2 / DVD format).
After the file has been converted, an extra clip will be visible with a CD icon
above it. This is the whole film. The ‘Export’ window will now be visible.
16.
Play the entire file to check whether it is correct.
