Setting project properties
Project Properties serve as your template for previewing your movie projects. The project settings in the Project Properties dialog box determine the appearance and quality of a project when it is previewed on-screen. To customize project settings, select File: Project Properties. When customizing project settings, it is recommended that you make the settings the same as the attributes of the video footage that will be captured to avoid distorting the video images and have smooth playback without jumping frames. When you customize project properties to be the same as the desired output settings for your project (for instance, setting project properties to DVD settings if you will output the project to a DVD disc), you can have more accurate previews of your final movie.

Adding clips

There are three ways you can do to add clips to your project: Capture video clips from a video source. The video clips will be inserted onto the Video Track. Drag clips from the Library onto the correct tracks. Click to directly insert media files to the different tracks.

Previewing

The Play button in the Navigation Panel serves two purposes: for playback of your entire project or a selected clip. To play back, click Project or Clip, then click Play. While working on your project, you will want to preview your work frequently to see how your project is progressing. VideoStudio offers you two preview options: Instant Playback and High Quality Playback. Select File: Preferences General, then choose the preview method that you prefer in Playback method.
Instant Playback allows you to quickly preview changes in your project without the need to create a temporary preview file, however, playback may be jerky depending on your computer resources. High Quality Playback renders your project as a temporary preview file then plays this preview file. Playback is smoother in High Quality Playback mode, but rendering your project for the first time in this mode may take a long time to complete depending on the size of your project and computer resources.

Mixing audio tracks

The key to making narrations, background music, and existing audio of your video clips blend well together is to control the volume of your clips. Blend the different audio tracks in your project by using the Audio Step Options Panel, Surround Sound Mixer or Audio View.
Using the Clip Volume Control
You will find the volume control in the Options Panel. Clip volume represents the percentage of the original recorded volume. Values range from 0 to 500%, where 0% completely silences the clip and 100% retains the original recorded volume.
Using the Surround Sound Mixer

Sub-woofer controls the amount of low-frequency sound output.

4. Click OK.

Render your project into a video file format that is suitable for your audience or purpose. You can export the rendered video file as a Web page, multimedia greeting card, or send it to a friend by e-mail. All these and more can be done in VideoStudio's Share Step. A DVD authoring wizard is also integrated in this step, enabling you to directly burn your project as a DVD, SVCD, or VCD.
The Share Step Options Panel
Create Video File: Creates a video file of your project. You can create movie templates that you can base your final video file on. Create Sound File: Allows you to save the audio segment of your project as a sound file.

You can only export your project after you have created a video file. Project Playback: Clears the screen and displays the whole project or a selected segment against a black background. It can also output to a videotape if you have a VGA to a TV converter, camcorder, or a video recorder connected to your system. It also allows you to manually control the output device when recording. DV Recording: Allows you to record a selected video file onto a DV tape using a DV camcorder. Share Video Online: Allows you to output your project as WMV then upload it on an online sharing site.

Creating movie templates

Movie templates contain settings which define how to create the final movie file. By using the preset movie templates provided by Ulead VideoStudio, or by creating your own templates in the Make Movie Manager, you can have multiple variations of your final movie. For instance, you can create movie templates that provide high quality outputs for DVD and videotape recording, and also set up movie templates that give lower quality but acceptable outputs for different purposes, such as Web streaming and e-mail distribution. To create movie templates: 1. Select Tools: Make Movie Manager. The Make Movie Templates Manager dialog box opens. 2. Click New. In the New Template dialog box, select the File format and type in a Template name. Click OK. 3. In the Template Options dialog box, set the options you want in the General and AVI/Compression tabs.

Glossary

Analog

Aspect Ratio

The relationship of width to height for a given image or graphic. Keeping or maintaining the aspect ratio refers to the process of maintaining size relationships when either the width or height of an image or graphic is changed.
Audio-Video Interleave is a digital video file format designed specifically for the Microsoft Windows environment.
The recording of video or images to a computer hard disk.

Capture Plug-ins

These are utilities integrated with Ulead VideoStudio that allow the program to recognize capture devices and automatically detect them when they are connected to the computer.
A short section or part of a movie. A clip can be audio, video, still images or a title.
COmpress and DECompress. All videos on a computer uses a special algorithm or program to process video. This program is called a codec.

Color Clip

A simple background color used in a movie. It is often used for titles and credits since they stand out clearly against the solid color.

Composite Video

A video signal that combines luminance and chrominance. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video.

Compression

Making a file smaller by removing redundant data. Nearly all digital video is compressed in some way or another. Compression is achieved through a codec.

Data Rate

The amount of data per second that is transferred from one part of your computer to another. In digital video, the data rate of your source is very important: CDROMs have lower data rates than hard disks. The data rate of the Internet is very low.

Device Control

A software driver that allows programs to control video sources like the camcorder or VCR.

Digital

Computer data consisting of ones and zeros. Contrast digital information with analog.

Digitizing

The process of converting analog input to a digital form so that it can be used by the computer.
Digital Non-Linear Editing is a method of combining and editing multiple video clips to produce a finished product. DNLE offers random access to all source materials and all portions on the master tape at all times during the editing process.

Driver

A software program that controls the connection between a specific device and a computer.
Digital Video with a capital "D" and a capital "V" stands for a very specific format of video, just like VHS or High-8. This format can be understood (played back, recorded) by your camcorder and also by your computer, if you have the proper hardware (capture card) and software (DV codec). The most exciting thing about DV is that it can be copied from your camcorder to your computer, and then back to your camcorder (after editing, of course) without any loss of quality.
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is popular in video production because of its quality. Not only does it guarantee superb audio and video quality, it can also hold several times more data than VCDs and SVCDs. DVDs make use of the MPEG-2 format, which has a much bigger file size than MPEG-1, and can likewise be produced as single or dual-sided, and single and dual-layered. They can be played on standalone DVD players or on the DVD-ROM drive of your PC.
In VideoStudio, an effect is a special computer generated transition between two video clips.

Export

The process of sharing files between applications. When you export a file, the data is usually converted into a format that is recognizable by the receiving application. The original file remains unchanged.
A transition effect where the clip gradually disappears or appears. In video, the picture would gradually change to or from a solid color; for audio, the transition would be from full volume to complete silence or vice-versa.

FireWire

A standard interface used for connecting digital audio/video devices such as DV camcorders to computers. It is the trademarked name given by Apple Computers for the IEEE-1394 standard.
