ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE
DVD
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is popular in video production because of its
quality. Not only does it guarantee superb audio and video quality, it can also hold
several times more data than VCDs and SVCDs. DVDs make use of the MPEG-2
format, which has a much bigger file size than MPEG-1, and can likewise be
produced as single or dual-sided, and single and dual-layered. They can be played
on stand-alone DVD players or on the DVD-ROM drive of your PC.
Effect
In VideoStudio, an effect is a special computer generated transition between two
video clips.
Export
The process of sharing files between applications. When you export a file, the data
is usually converted into a format that is recognizable by the receiving application.
The original file remains unchanged.
Fade
A transition effect where the clip gradually disappears or appears. In video, the
picture would gradually change to or from a solid color; for audio, the transition
would be from full volume to complete silence or vice-versa.
FireWire
A standard interface used for connecting digital audio/video devices such as DV
camcorders to computers. It is the trademarked name given by Apple Computers
for the IEEE-1394 standard.
Footage
A length of recorded film intended for use in a larger project.
Frame
A single image in a movie.
Frame Rate
The number of frames per second in a video. NTSC video is commonly 29.97
frames per second (fps), but smaller video files can be created on the computer by
using lower frame rates, like 15 fps (not suitable for VCD or DVD).
