Description

The main window is divided into three parts – program monitor, media pool and project window.

The program monitor is, in other words, a window to view in real time the selected fragment being edited left upper window in photo 1 .

Mediapool is an explorer of hard disk partitions, through which you can select media files top right window in photo . You can also use the media pool to select the special effects.

At the bottom of the project window you can see the ruler window showing fragments of the clip you are editing.

By default, during editing the program monitor is located in the upper left corner, the media pool is in the upper right corner and the ruler window is at the bottom.

These windows can be rearranged, maximized, and resized to your liking.

Allowed to trim a fragment, grouping, splitting, adding titles. The situation with effects is completely analogous, you just need to drag the desired effect on the ruler and edit its parameters.

The number of effects will not leave indifferent even the most sophisticated users. There are a wide variety of transitions between frames, dozens of options for titles, a variety of rotation at any angle, different zooming and highlighting. Brightness, sharpness and contrast settings can be applied to each video fragment separately.

This can be useful, for example, if you need to combine in a single project several clips shot in different conditions and visually very different in these parameters. Ability to place several different fragments on the same screen is also realized with a couple of light mouse movements.

Audio effects are just as impressive in variety. Equalizer, fade in effects, different sound presets are available for convenience and total freedom. Remarkably, it is possible to work with separate audio files as well as with the sound contained directly in video fragments.

Wandering in the top menu, which is also the main and only one, the user will find six items – “file”, “processing”, “effects”, “window”, “export” and “help. The “file” item contains operations relating to exporting and importing video files, saving and loading projects, as well as burning to CD.
