ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO USER GUIDE

Starting a new movie project

When you run VideoStudio, it automatically opens a new project and lets you start
composing your movie production. A new project always uses VideoStudio's default
settings. To check what these settings are, click File: Project Properties.
Project settings determine how your movie project is rendered when you preview
it. 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 project 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 properties such
as file format, frame size, etc. are not identical, VideoStudio automatically adjusts
the project settings to match the clip's properties. Changing the project settings to
conform with clip properties allows VideoStudio to perform the SmartRender
function.
Tip:
The above message box lets you change the project properties to be the same as the first
video clip inserted into the Timeline. To toggle between displaying and not displaying the
message box, select or clear Show message when inserting first video clip into the
Timeline in the Preferences dialog box.

Setting your preferences

Customize the program's working environment through the Preferences dialog
box. You can specify a working folder for saving files, set undo levels, choose
preferred settings for program behavior, enable Smart Proxy and more. To open the
Preferences dialog box, select File: Preferences [F6].
