THE VIDEO SCENES SECTION
This is where the editing process really begins –
in the Video Scenes section of the Album with
your captured raw footage. In a typical production,
your first step will probably be to drag some scenes
from the Album down into the Movie Window (see
Chapter 5: Video Clips).
In the Album, scenes are displayed in the order in
which they were captured. This order cannot be
changed, since it is determined by the underlying
capture file, but scenes can be added to your movie in
any order you choose. Similarly, while you can’t trim
(edit) Album scenes, you can use any desired portion of
a scene when it appears as a clip in your movie.
Interface features
The Video Scenes section offers several special
interface features:
• The icons of scenes captured at preview quality are
drawn with a dotted outline in the Album. Scenes
captured at full quality do not have this outline.
