• Putting a file in a "Collection" does not add the file to the movie project or obligate you to do so.
It is just a convenient container for files that you think you might want to use at a later point
.
4. Adding Media to your Movie Project
• The next step is to actually add the media files to your movie project and begin shaping your
movie.
• Click the “ Open Media” button to import media from your Computer to the Video Express
• Click on the “ Get Media” button to download videos from the camcorder inserted.
• Any file that you want to include in your movie is dragged or added to the
‘Timeline/Storyboard’ window.
• This ‘Timeline/Storyboard’ window displays the files in chronological order.
• Files that have been placed in the ‘Timeline/Storyboard’ can be easily moved, arranged and
added to or removed.
• Various special effects and transitions between files can also be inserted to give your movie
a smooth, professional look and feel.
• You can add ‘Text’ either as Titles or Credits to the beginning or end of your movie or as
overlay text that will appear anywhere you wish on the selected clip.
