Quick start 23

Trim: If you only want to import a certain part of a video clip into your
project, click on the Trim icon with the curved brackets. The video clip will
then appear in the preview monitor. Now use the brackets to mark the
area you want to import on the timeline. Finally drag & drop the video
from the preview monitor into the project by clicking on it and holding
down the mouse button. Only the area previously marked by the brackets
will be imported as a video object.

Import: Click on the Import icon to load the selected media to the project
window.

Tip: You can create a link to your personal media folder in order to access the media
it contains with just a single click. You can do this by right-clicking on one of the
entries and selecting "Create link" in the context menu. Select the media folder and
click "OK" to confirm.

Note: All links are automatically deleted if the function "Reset standard program
settings" is used.

Display modes

With the help of the button in the center of the toolbar, you can switch between the
"Timeline-", "Storyboard" and "Scene overview" modes. Another button for the
multicam mode is available in the Plus/Premium version.

Storyboard mode (view page 24) (first button) is the
preset view. This view offers an easy, streamlined
interface to simplify the editing process. All scenes
from your film are listed sequentially in the
"Storyboard" mode. Every scene is displayed with a
preview picture in the storyboard.

The scene overview (view page 24) (second button)
provides a scaleable overview of the scenes. You can
use this to comfortably view, sort, and delete
unnecessary scenes.

In Timeline-mode (view page 25) (third button),

your movies are displayed as "objects" on the
"timeline". This means: The longer the object, the
longer the corresponding film.

You can display all modes in full screen using the button at the top right.
