Terms & Tools

Basic Editing is composing your media clips into movie form. It can
include cutting and pasting, trimming, and deleting to achieve the
presentation you want.
Movie Maker
lets you edit and combine multiple tracks of video and audio clips.
Sound Track is
more powerful than Movie Maker for audio editing, and it includes a
feature that helps you synchronize the sound to the movie.
-
He brings the clips he collected with Media Recorder
into Movie
Maker.
-
He uses Movie Maker to cut, copy, and paste frames, and to preview the
movie until he is satisfied with the arrangement and length.
Edits the Audio Tracks With Sound Track
-
After trimming and editing the movie, he finds that it comes to 29.6
seconds, so then he knows how much audio he is limited to. After capturing and
importing the audio clips into Sound Track, he is
ready to edit the audio.
-
He deletes any unwanted material in each of the three tracks
(narrative, music, and sounds).
-
He uses Sound Track's movie synchronization and marker features to help
him place the different sound clips exactly where he wants them to be
in the movie. (Moving clips is as easy as selecting and dragging, or
cutting and pasting with keyboard shortcuts.)
Combines the Audio and Video
-
He uses Sound Track to export (mix down) the audio into a file.
-
Imports the audio file into his movie in Movie Maker.
-
Views the movie in Movie Maker a few times to make sure he is satisfied
with it.
-
To make precise editing selections, use the Frame Forward and Frame
Back buttons (shown below). The keyboard shortcuts for Frame Forward
and Frame Back are the arrow keys, <- and ->.
