ABSTRACT

Making a Movie is performed in the Video Sequence Editor (VSE) where the readers compile Video Sequences. A movie is a visual way of telling a story or communicating a message. To effectively piece together a movie the readers must have at least an idea of how they want to tell their story. In other words, the readers should have a plan or sketch to use as a reference. The plan is called a Storyboard. The default display in the Video Editing Workspace shows thumbnail images of a series of Folders. Additional features for enhancing and modifying video strips are accomplished by adding features from the VSE Header Add button menu or by the application of Strip Modifiers in the VSE Properties Panel. Generally adding a feature from the Header inserts a special Feature Strip in the VSE in addition to the Video Files entered, while the application of a Modifier affects the selected Video Strip in the VSE.
