Storyboard

A storyboard is an outline for a movie. It contains a chronological order of the events that
occur in your story. The bottom half of the VideoStudio interface is simply an electronic
storyboard. You can edit your project either in the Storyboard Mode or Timeline Mode .

Storyboard Mode

Storyboard Mode is the fastest and simplest way to add clips to your movie. Clips can be
moved around by simply dragging them. You may find that starting out in the Storyboard
Mode is the easiest way to get your project rolling. Each picture represents an event in your
movie, an event being a video clip or a transition. Thumbnails show at a glance the chronologi-
cal order of events in your project.
You can drag and drop clips to insert and arrange them. Transition effects can be inserted
between clips. Selected clips can be trimmed in the Preview Window.

divide the entire display area between the
storyboard display and the Library. With a
larger workspace, you can arrange clips and
apply effects and transitions more easily.
