paulears Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 There are two tools and one basic time slip feature. Creative Cow (do a Google) have some useful on-line tutorials. With the arrow tool selected, then hovering near the start or end of a clip changes the arrow to a bracket. Then you can trim he start or end, and the preview window shows you where you are. You can chop up a clip with the razor tool, and then use the two edit tools (near the arrow in the tool box, but easier to use as a keyboard shortcut). One of these tools lets you adjust where the cut point when two clips are butted together happens, the other leaves the clips o the right at their starting length and just trims the out point of the first - this shortens the total running time. The other one leaves running time the same, just the cut point gets moved. The arrow tool will let you drag clips around, but leaves the following clips in their original place. This is a quick skim through - hope it helps. Audio tracks, by the way follow the video unless you unlink them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackboxboy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Some user friendly programs you may wish to try! Pinnacle (Quite home video editing standard) has some good effects Serif Movieplus - V good bit of software although you may need a seperate program to make your menus (eg Adobe encore)*** A tip for serif is to ring them up and bargain them down keep trying they have lots of margin in there products. If the new release is to expensive ask them about the previous version should be very cheap! Its £70 new should get it AT LEAST 1/2 price As you have premiere pro I would push on to learn it as its a great piece of software. (just not to user friendly!) Hope this helps DarrenBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Ulead Video Studio is also pretty decent for a domestic editing package - can do most normal functions on it, plus a few toys, and it's laid out very simply - very very quick to learn.
