How VideoStudio works
VideoStudio follows a step-by-step paradigm
so that editing tasks remain uncomplicated
from start to finish. VideoStudio also offers
more than a hundred transition effects,
professional titling capabilities and simple
soundtrack creation tools. Learn in seconds,
create in minutes.
VideoStudio breaks up your movie into
separate tracks, giving you broad creative
freedom. Changes to one track do not affect
others.
After transferring footage from your
camcorder, you can arrange scenes, apply
special effects, overlay images, add animated
titles, sync in a voiceover narration, and use
background music from your favorite CDs in
formats such as WAV and MP3. All these can
be done using drag-and-drop, cut-and-paste,
or select-and-apply operations.
All the tracks in your movie are then orga-
nized into a video project file (*.VSP), which
contains all the video and audio information
on how your movie is put together.
When everything is all set to go, your
computer collects all information needed to
create your final movie file. This process is
called rendering.
You can then output and distribute your
movie as a DVD/VCD/SVCD title, streaming
Web page video, or an e-mail attachment.
You can also record your movie back to your
camcorder or VCR.
