How VideoStudio works

VideoStudio follows a step-by-step paradigm so that editing tasks remain uncomplicated from start to finish. VideoStudio also offers more than a hundred transition effects, professional titling capabilities and simple soundtrack creation tools. Learn in seconds, create in minutes.

VideoStudio breaks up your movie into separate tracks, giving you broad creative freedom. Changes to one track do not affect others.

After transferring footage from your camcorder, you can arrange scenes, apply special effects, overlay images, add animated titles, sync in a voiceover narration, and use background music from your favorite CDs in formats such as WAV and MP3. All these can be done using drag-and-drop, cut-and-paste, or select-and-apply operations.

All the tracks in your movie are then orga- nized into a video project file (*.VSP), which contains all the video and audio information on how your movie is put together.

When everything is all set to go, your computer collects all information needed to create your final movie file. This process is called rendering.

You can then output and distribute your movie as a DVD/VCD/SVCD title, streaming Web page video, or an e-mail attachment. You can also record your movie back to your camcorder or VCR.

Footage can be captured from your camcorder and digitized for editing in your PC
