Creating Your Story

Add a Clip to the Workspace

The different types of clips may only be added to specific tracks. The

sections below describe the procedures for adding each kind of media

clip into the workspace.

Note: You may prefer to add clips in Storyboard view, since this view is

simpler than the Timeline view. However, clips can only be added to

the Video track in this view. Therefore, this section uses the Timeline

view in all of the procedures.

Add Video & Image Clips

You can add video and image clips to either the Video track or the

PiP (picture-in-picture) track. To create the basic framework of your

movie, add video and image clips to the Video track. Add clips to the

PiP track only to create a picture-in-picture effect.

To add video or image clips to the workspace, do this:

1. Click to open the Media Room.

2. Select Video, Image, or All Media from the Filter drop-down

list to sort the clips in the Media Room.

3. Select a clip, then add it to the workspace. You may do this in

one of the following ways:

• Click to add the clip to the Video track or

to add the clip to the PiP track.

• Drag clips to a desired position in the Video or PiP track.

When adding clips to the Video track, you cannot leave an

empty gap between the last clip and the new clips you are

adding. Clips added to the end of the Video track follow

immediately after the final clip in that track.

Note: You may select several clips and drag them together into the

same track, provided all of the clips are compatible with the

destination track.
