Creating movies with MovieShaker software

Using your imported clips, you can create a short movie using the Shake feature. The Shake feature randomly selects clips from the Story Board tray, to create a 30-second movie. After you “Shake” your video, you can edit it by adding effects and text, adjusting the color and contrast, and modifying the length.
