Editing Your Movies

In-camera editing is limited to trimming the beginning or end from a clip, and the clip must be at least two seconds long. For more advanced editing, you’ll need an applica- tion capable of editing AVI movie clips. Google “AVI Editor” to locate any of the hun- dreds of free video editors available, or use a commercial product like Corel Video Studio, Adobe Premiere Elements, or Pinnacle Studio. These will let you combine sev- eral clips into one movie, add titles, special effects, and transitions between scenes.

To do in-camera editing/trimming, follow these steps:

1.Start movie clip. Use the Playback button to start image review, and press OK when you see a clip you want to edit. It will begin playing.

2.Activate edit. To remove video from the beginning of a clip, view the movie until you reach the first frame you want to keep, and then press the down button to pause. To trim video from the end of a clip, watch the movie until you reach the last frame you want to keep and then press the down button to pause.

3.Access edit screen. Press the White Balance/Help/Protect button to display the Edit Movie prompt. (See Figure 6.11.)

4.Select start/end point. To remove video from the beginning of the clip, press the up/down multi selector button and highlight either Choose Start Point or Choose End Point, and press OK.

5.Resume playback. Press the center button of the multi selector to start or resume playback. You can use the Pause, Rewind, Advance, and Single frame controls described previously to move around within your clip.
