7.4Add Content to Storyboard

The Storyboard is where you add content to piece together your movie. The Storyboard consists of several squares.

The larger squares are for STILL IMAGES and VIDEOS. The smaller squares are for TRANSITIONS. (Transitions are effects that occur as one video or image changes to another.) When your final movie is compiled, everything on the Storyboard is combined into a single video file.

Step 1. Launch the program and click "Edit" at the top of the screen to go to the Edit module.

Step 2. From the Media tab, click a thumbnail to select it.

Then click the "Add" arrow to add the video or image to the next available space on the Storyboard. Alternatively, double-click the thumbnail. Or select the thumbnail and drag it to the Storyboard.

Step 3. Click on the Transitions tab. Choose a transition that you like and add it before or after any photo or video by selecting the transition and clicking the "Add" arrow. Alternatively, double-click the transition. Or select the transition and drag it to the Storyboard.

A quick and easy way to apply transitions to your movie is to right-click the Storyboard and choose "Random Transition to All." The program automatically adds transitions to every available spot on the Storyboard.

For more information about the Storyboard, see Section 3.4.
