splits your video clip at its current play position. The video divides into
two segments that are placed in the Video Clipboard.
Tip: The Preview Panel lets you split clips at the Playhead or at the video frame
appearing in the panel.
Step Three — Arrange Clips
After splitting your video into smaller segments, you can begin to arrange them in the
Storyboard Panel. The Storyboard already contains three items that look like film frames.
The first and last items are provided to create custom Intro and Ending Titles for your
video. *They can be removed by selecting the specific title frame and pressing Delete on
your keyboard. The deleted item will remain in a grayed-out form.*
Add your first clip to the middle frame in the Storyboard. To move clips to the
Storyboard, select a segment from the Video Clipboard and drag it to the Storyboard
Panel at the bottom of the edit screen. If desired, add more clips around the middle clip
(clips cannot be added before or after the Intro- and Ending-Title frames.).
You can also drag and drop clips within the Storyboard Panel. Dragging a clip to the
right or left will change its sequence. A vertical red bar will appear to indicate where the
clip will be placed in the timeline.
Tip: To preview your clip arrangement, select the clip you want to preview in the
Storyboard Panel and click Play in the Preview Panel.
Step Four — Adding Effects (optional)
The Edit screen includes a large selection of optional effects that can be used to visually
enhance your video. To access the effects, select one of the three Effect tabs above the
Video Clipboard: Transitions, Visual Effects, or Titles.
