5. Editing Video

Lesson overview

In Lesson 4, you learned to organize your video in Media view. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to take that footage and shape it into a refined final version. You’ll apply these basic editing techniques:

• Insert, delete, and rearrange clips in the Sceneline and Timeline

• Trim and split clips

• Quickly add a slide show to your video project

• Use Smart Trim mode to quickly remove lower-quality segments from your videos

Over the course of this lesson, you’ll piece together a short video about a visit to the Georgia Aquarium. You’ll be working with video and audio clips provided on the DVD that accompanies this book.

This lesson will take approximately two hours.
