Getting Started with Editing

The previous sections briefly explained the workspace of Video Edit Magic Express.  This section will go over the steps necessary to prepare Video Edit Magic Express for editing.

An editing project must be carefully planned by first selecting the media files that will appear in your final composition and then preparing a preliminary rough sketch of how you will go about creating your composition.

After the initial plans, editing usually involves three major steps:

  1. Opening files in the media list and adding them to the Timeline so that they are available for editing. 
  2. Editing the media files in the Timeline and decorating them with Effects. 
  3. Saving your final composition by making a movie. 

You can also save your editing project for later reference.
