ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE
The Step Panel
VideoStudio simplifies the process of creating movies into seven simple steps. Click
the buttons in the Step Panel to switch between steps.
Note: These steps do not necessarily need to be followed in the order that they are
presented.
The Menu Bar
The Menu Bar provides various commands for customizing VideoStudio, opening
and saving movie projects, working with individual clips, and more.
Once a project is opened in VideoStudio, video can be recorded
directly to your computer's hard disk in the Capture Step.
Footage from a videotape can be captured as a single file or
automatically divided into multiple files. This step allows you to
capture video and still images.
The Edit Step and the Timeline are the heart of VideoStudio.
This is where you arrange, edit, and trim your video clips. Video
filters can also be applied to your video clips in this step.
The Effect Step lets you add transitions between video clips in
your project. Choose from the variety of transition effects in the
Library.
The Overlay Step allows you to superimpose multiple clips over
another to create a picture-in-picture effect.
No movie would be complete without opening titles, captions and
closing credits. In the Title Step, you can create animated text
titles or choose from various presets in the Library.
Background music sets the mood of your movie. The Audio
Step lets you select and record music files from one or several
CD-ROM drives attached to your computer. You can also dub
over your video in this step.
When your movie is complete, you can create a video file for
sharing on the Web or output the movie on tape, DVD, or CD in
the Share Step.
