To place a clip (on the Storyboard)

Select clips from the Clip tray and place them onto the Scene palettes of the Storyboard.

  1. Drag a thumbnail image from the Clip tray.

  2. Drop it on a Scene palette of the Storyboard.

    The clip is placed on the Scene palette.

Hints

  • As you drag a scene over a chosen Scene palette, the palette is highlighted (or a vertical marker appears between the palettes) to indicate placement. Use this indication to guide placement.

  • You can also simultaneously place more than one clip on the Scene palettes. The scenes appear in the order in which the clips are placed on the Clip tray.

  • To select more than one clip at the same time, click on the desired clips while pressing the Ctrl key. To select a sequential block of clips, click on the first clip, and then click on the last clip while pressing the Shift key. All clips between (and including) the first and last clips are placed on the Scene palettes in the order they appeared on the Clip tray.

  • If you double-click on the thumbnail image of a movie or still image file on the Clip tray, it is added to the last Scene palette on the Storyboard.

To rearrange the order of scenes

You can rearrange the order of scenes on the Storyboard by dragging and dropping them.

To remove a scene

To remove a scene from the Storyboard, drag and drop it in the Trash in the MovieShaker window. You can also remove a scene by clicking it and pressing the Delete key.

You can also remove more than one scene at the same time. To select a sequential block of scenes, click on the first scene, and then click on the last scene while pressing the Shift key.

Notes

  • If you select one scene to rearrange the order or remove it, its preceding and subsequent transitions are automatically removed.

  • If you select multiple scenes simultaneously to remove them, the preceding transition of the first scene, the subsequent transition of the last scene, and all transitions between the selected scenes, are removed.

  • If you drag a sound file from the Clip tray and drop it on the Product tray while the Storyboard is displayed, the Product tray automatically displays the Timeline.
