Create a blockbuster vacation video

Step 7:

Edit your video


Build your project by dragging and dropping individual clips onto the timeline.

Build your project by dragging and dropping individual clips onto the timeline. You can alter or remove transitions later. (The B denotes the Barn Doors transition.)

You edit your video by defining the length of the segments you've chosen. Use either the Time Code counter controls or the jog bar to navigate your way to the beginning of your first segment. Once there, click the Mark In control (the left-pointing arrow inside the left bracket). Now move to the end of the segment. Click the Mark Out control (the right-pointing arrow inside a right bracket). As far as VideoStudio now knows, that thumbnail in the Gallery is no longer your full video clip--it's only the segment you've just defined. Move the mouse to this new segment, hold down the left mouse button, and drag your selection down to the timeline, dropping it where you see the words "Drag and drop video clip here." Go back to the Gallery and click your original clip so that VideoStudio knows you're going to use it again. Repeat what you just did with the jog bar or the Time Code counter controls to define the second and all successive segments.
