2 Pinnacle Studio for iPad
About this Guide
The rest of this introductory chapter provides a very quick tour of Pinnacle Studio
for iPad.
The later chapters cover the app area by area, starting with Chapter 2: The
Projects Page. The core of the Guide is the sequence of editing chapters from
Chapter 3: The Edit Page through Chapter 9: Audio. These cover every aspect of
constructing your movie, from gathering the raw materials to adding Transitions,
Titles, and other finishing touches. When you are ready to share the result,
Chapter 10: Exporting explains how to make your work available to others.
Meet Pinnacle Studio for iPad
Pinnacle Studio for iPad divides its controls into two screens, or pages: the
Projects Page, for starting and managing projects; and the Edit Page, where the
creative action of movie-making takes place.
The Projects Page
The primary role of the Projects Page is the creation and management of your
movie projects.
Opening a project, existing or new, takes you to the Edit Page (introduced below),
which is where you’ll spend most of your time with the app. However, you will
need to return to the Projects Page in order to:
Start a new project;
Switch to editing a different project;
Rename or delete a project.
The Projects Page is also the location of several administrative functions, such as
adjusting global settings, rebuilding the Library from your available media, and
opening the documentation. See Chapter 2: The Projects Page for details.
