To open a new timeline in the program in question all that you have to do is open the program and then set up the screen size. I chose to set my screen to "DV PAL - Widescreen 48Hz"; this size is appropriate as it is a large scale so that it will work on a big screen and it will also mean that the size of the end product is reasonable. I found the importing process to be very easy; File>Import or shortcut "Ctrl i". After this the clips that I wanted to import were selected and then loaded into the program.The trimming of video was done quite easily done. Using the split tool let me cut the video from a certain point and trimming was achieved by dragging one side of the clip toward the rest of the clip. Video transitions will not be used by myself in my music video but can be inputed via drag and drop. Where you have to drag and drop is between the clips.
Music can added by a very similar process but it has to be dragged to the audio channel instead of the video channel. Audio levels can be checked via the mixing window. In this panel they can be lowered or even raised if you feel that they are too low. Text can be added via the title function; still, rolling or crawling text can be added. The text is typed and then be placed over the video where ever you wish. Image filters are dragged and dropped on top of the video/image you wish to apply it to and can be edited by clicking on the videos drop down menu.
Exporting video footage is a simple process. First you must select all of the audio and video by Edit > Select All. After this exportation begins; File > Export > Movie, after dong this you must choose what you want to call it and where you would like it to go. Lastly you should chose what file type and then finally click save.
