ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS
Click the Effects tab to see all of the fun and unusual effects. Effects are added to specific items on
the Video track. You can modify the duration of the effect by clicking and dragging the edges. Note
that effects are added to individual components of the video track. You can't, for example, extend
an effect over two pictures. You need to add the effect over both of them. By the way, you can tell
which components have effects attached to them in the Storyboard view by the star icon that they
display.
EXPORT YOUR VIDEO
Okay, now go ahead and click the Export tab.
Go ahead and choose "DVD File" from the pull-down. You can save in a variety of file types, and
alter various settings for each one. Verify that you're saving the movie as a DVD (MPEG-2) file to
your hard drive, then click Start. A standard Save As window will appear.
Type in a file name for your movie, and save it in a location that's easy to remember. VERY
IMPORTANT: Check the box called "Add to album" and then select the album to which the saved
file will be added. It isn't critical, but if you want to use this video clip when you're creating your DVD,
it'll need to be in an album anyway. That's it! You're done. Just relax while your movie is compiled
and saved. Once it's done, you can add the clip to a DVD or VCD project in the Create section.
