Add Color Boards
Using color boards allows you to insert solid frames of color into
your movie. You might, for example, want to fade in to or out from a
certain color, or add a solid background to a picture-in-picture effect.
Color boards are not media files as such, but they can be applied to
the workspace and managed in the Library just like video and image
clips. You can add color boards to either the Video or the PiP track.
To add a color board to the workspace, do this:
1. Click to open the Media Room.
2. Select Color boards from the Filter drop-down list. The current
color boards appear in the Library.
3. Select a color board, then add it to the workspace. You may do
this in one of the following ways:
• Click to add the color board to the Video track or
to add the color board to the PiP track.
• Drag one or more color boards 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.
