Chapter 3: Edit
3.3Media
The Media tab of the Edit module is where you browse your albums for video content. Content includes still images, video files, and audio files.
Albums
Albums are collections of shortcuts to files stored on your system. The program uses albums to help you organize your media components.
You can "add" files to an album, which means you add a shortcut. For example, when you capture a video or audio clip and save the recorded file, you can automatically add that file to an album.
When you add an album component to the Storyboard/Timeline, the program grabs the actual file. You can delete the contents of an album without worrying about affecting the actual files.
Compiling Media
To start compiling a video clip, add media components to the Storyboard/Timeline. To add a file to the Storyboard/Timeline, simply click it to select it. Then, click the arrow beneath the thumbnails.
