Storyboard
A storyboard is a visual representation of your movie. Individual clips are
represented as image thumbnails on the timeline.
Streaming
This is a relatively new Internet technology that allows large files to be played as
they are being downloaded. Streaming is commonly used for large video and audio
files.
SVCD
Super Video CD (SVCD) is commonly described as an enhanced version of VCD.
It is based on MPEG-2 technology with Variable Bit Rate (VBR) support. The typical
running time of an SVCD is about 30-45 minutes. Although you could extend this to
70 minutes, you will have to compromise sound and image quality. SVCDs can be
played back on stand-alone VCD/SVCD players, most DVD players, and all CD-
ROM/DVD-ROM with a DVD/SVCD player software.
Template
A work pattern in a software program. It includes predefined formats and settings
to save user's efforts and reduce risks of making mistakes.
Timecode
The timecode of a video file is a numerical way of representing the position in a
video. Timecodes can be used to make very accurate edits.
Timeline
The timeline is a graphic representation of your movie in chronological order. The
relative size of clips on the timeline gives you an accurate idea of the length of your
media clips.
Title
A title can be a movie title, a caption or credit. Any text, image, or video file that
overlays in your movie can be referred to as titles.
Transition Effect
A transition is a method of sequencing between two video clips, like fading from
one into another. In Ulead VideoStudio, there are a large variety of special
transitions available, and they are called Effects.
