Video Authoring

Click the Video Authoring button to open the PowerProducer program, which allows you to finalize your digital video productions and burn them to disk. Before you produce your movie using PowerProducer, first gather (or create) its component parts: video clips, photos, and background music. You may collect raw footage yourself with a camcorder or other recording device, or you may simply use files that you have on hand; including movies you have already created in a video editing program.

When your movie is ready for production, use PowerProducer, which offers basic video editing tools, so your movie does not have to be perfectly polished at this stage. PowerProducer's production functions include the following:

•burns CDs, DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, and editable DVDs

•erases rewritable disks that contain unwanted content

•copies disks

•defragments disks for appending video content

•burns DV content straight to DVD

•sets chapters within video content

•adds background music to videos and menus

•offers custom menu layouts for buttons, frames, and backgrounds

•captures from DVD, firewire devices, analog capture cards, USB devices, and files
