Start

The Start Step is where you create a new project file (*.VSP), or open an ex-
isting project. A project file is a small file used by VideoStudio to store all of
the information about your movie such as clips used, trimming information,
duration of movie, size of frames, and type of movie to make. A project file
is not the finished movie and can only be opened in VideoStudio. The actual
process of creating a movie from a project file is
performed in the Finish Step.
Creating a new project
When you run VideoStudio, it automatically opens
a new project and lets you start composing your
video production. If this is your first time to use
VideoStudio, the new project uses VideoStudio's
initial default settings. Otherwise, the new project
reuses the project settings which you have last
used. To check what these settings are, click Set-
tings and Commands and select Project Prop-
erties.
Project settings determine how your video proj-
ect is rendered when you preview the project.
Rendering is the process by which VideoStudio
converts raw video, titles, sounds, and effects into
a continuous stream of data which can be played
back in your computer. You can modify the proj-
ect settings in the Project Properties dialog box.
When you capture or insert your first video clip
into the project, VideoStudio automatically checks
the properties of the clip and your project. If prop-
erties such as file format, frame size, etc. are not
identical, VideoStudio displays a message and
gives you the option to have the project settings
automatically adjusted to match the clip's prop-
erties.
