A) Capture Video
This section of the program allows you
to get everything you want so you can edit,
including pictures, music, and of course
video.
B) Edit Movie
This section allows you to add titles,
effects, and transitions to your movie and
individual clips
C) Finish Movie
In this area, you can render your
movie with ease.
D) Collections
Here is your main area. It's kind of
like a databank, where all of your imported
files appear. This is also where your
captured video appears when you finish
capturing.
E) The Video Screen
This screen is where you get a preview of your
edited video so far. Down in the lower left are the basic
Play, Pause, Stop, and Frame Forward/Backward
buttons. The Frame buttons allow you to advance or
back a single frame in the video.
F) Split Button
This tool is a very valuable asset to the
experienced editor. As you edit videos, you will notice
a blue bar over where you are paused or where in the
video you are playing.
G) Screenshot Button
This button takes a screenshot of whatever is on
the screen at the time you click the button.
H) Video Track
Here is where your video is inserted into the
timeline.
I) Audio Track
This is where your audio and music
clips are inserted into your movie.
J) Title Track
Here, all of the titles you create are
added.
