Setting project properties

Project Properties serve as your template for previewing your movie projects.

The project settings in the Project Properties dialog box determine the appearance

and quality of a project when it is previewed on-screen. To customize project

settings, select File: Project Properties.

When customizing project settings, it is recommended that you make the settings

the same as the attributes of the video footage that will be captured to avoid

distorting the video images and have smooth playback without jumping frames.

When you customize project properties to be the same as the desired output

settings for your project (for instance, setting project properties to DVD settings if

you will output the project to a DVD disc), you can have more accurate previews of

your final movie.

Adding clips

There are three ways you can do to add clips to your project:

• Capture video clips from a video source. The video clips will be inserted onto

the Video Track.

• Drag clips from the Library onto the correct tracks.

• Click to directly insert media files to the different tracks.

Previewing

The Play button in the Navigation Panel serves

two purposes: for playback of your entire project or

a selected clip. To play back, click Project or Clip,

then click Play.

While working on your project, you will want to preview your work frequently to see

how your project is progressing. VideoStudio offers you two preview options:

Instant Playback and High Quality Playback. Select File: Preferences -

General, then choose the preview method that you prefer in Playback method.
