[. . . ] The Storyboard/ Timeline is basically a template for the creation of your movie. They represent different views of the same thing. You add still images, videos, and scene transitions when in Storyboard view. In addition to these, you can add audio, text, and special effects using the Timeline. So as you can see, you aren't limited to pictures, video clips, and music. You can also add transitions between each component that you add (for example, you can have one video clip fade out as the next one fades in), as well as other special effects. You can add scrolling text for beginning titles or end credits. When you're done, you video can then be included as a chapter in your final DVD. The Storyboard displays still images, video clips, and transitions. The Timeline displays still images, videos, transitions, text, audio, and special effects. If you want to create a basic video that consists of smaller video clips and still images, stick to the Storyboard. If you'd like to include additional audio tracks, special effects, and text, you'll need to use the Timeline. Use the included sample content to play around with the Timeline and all of its options. When your final video is compiled, all the content is processed into a single video. The video will progress through each clip and image that you've added. The bulk of your options are accessed through the top portion of the screen that is divided into numerous tabs: MEDIA, TEXT, TRANSITIONS, EFFECTS, and EXPORT (this last may not appear until you've actually started to construct your video). All of your content comes from "albums. " Before we go any further, you're going to need to have a basic understanding of what albums are and how they work. page 30 ALBUMS In order to add content to the Storyboard/Timeline, you need to first create an album. Albums consist of shortcuts that link to files stored on your computer. If you can master this concept (and it isn't that difficult, trust us), you're way ahead of the game. Think of album content in the same light as shortcuts on your desktop or taskbar. The icons that you click aren't the actual program icons; they're merely shortcuts. Albums contain shortcuts to your pictures, music, and videos. There are a few sample albums included. You can create multiple albums, giving each one a unique name. For example, you can have one album for vacation photos, another one for family events. . . [. . . ] A repaired or replacement product will be shipped back to you.
