Creating movies with MovieShaker software

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

Importing images and sound clips

1Click Import. The Import file browser window appears.

2Find the clips you want to add.

3Click the clips. The files are added to the Import clip tray.

4Repeat this process to gather each of the images and video and sound clips you want to use in your movie.

✍You can delete a clip from the Import clip tray by dragging the clip’s icon to the trash icon located on the Edit tray of the working panel.

Importing image or sound files that are over 30 seconds in length may cause the MovieShaker software to stop responding.
