ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE
SVCD
Super Video CD (SVCD) is commonly described as an enhanced version of VCD.
It is based on MPEG-2 technology with Variable Bit Rate (VBR) support. The typical
running time of an SVCD is about 30-45 minutes. Although you could extend this to
70 minutes, you will have to compromise sound and image quality. SVCDs can be
played back on stand-alone VCD/SVCD players, most DVD players, and all CD-
ROM/DVD-ROM with a DVD/SVCD player software.
Template
A work pattern in a software program. It includes predefined formats and settings
to save user's efforts and reduce risks of making mistakes.
Timecode
The timecode of a video file is a numerical way of representing the position in a
video. Timecodes can be used to make very accurate edits.
Timeline
The Timeline is a graphic representation of your movie in chronological order. The
relative size of clips on the Timeline gives you an accurate idea of the length of
your media clips.
Title
A title can be a movie title, a caption or credit. Any text, image, or video file that
overlays in your movie can be referred to as titles.
Transition Effect
A transition is a method of sequencing between two video clips, like fading from
one into another. In Ulead VideoStudio, there are a large variety of special
transitions available, and they are called Effects.
Trim
The process of editing or cropping a movie clip. Computer video can be trimmed
frame by frame.
VCD
Video Compact Disc (VCD) is a special version of a CD-ROM that uses the MPEG-
1 format. The quality of the exported movie is almost the same, but usually better
than VHS tape-based movies. A VCD can be played back on a CD-ROM drive, VCD
player, and even on a DVD player.
