Toshiba USB Webcam manual Media, Edit

Using software

For this walk-though, choose "Get From Album." Even if you choose one of the other options, you will end up at your albums sooner or later. Albums contain shortcuts to files stored on your system. You will grab most of your "media" for movie construction from your albums.

MEDIA

This first step is where you select the "media" (still images, videos, and sound clips) that you want to use to create your movie. All you need to do is choose the components you want and add them to the Storyboard. When you save - or "produce" - your movie, all the components on the Storyboard will be combined together into a single video file.
