I do like the search box atop the list, since there are so many to choose from. The transition previews show the effect with standard A>B demos, rather than with your own content.
These are found in tabs under the source window, looking more like what you see in Adobe Premiere Pro rather than a consumer app-they're just in folders. Getting Fancy with Digital Movies Sony Movie Studio offers loads of more complicated transitions and effects-literally hundreds. Though a dialog opens whenever you add one of these "plug-ins" to your movie, their effects only show up in the preview panel, not in the effect's own dialog. All these effects are referred to as Plug-ins, even though they ship with the product. Adjusting brightness, pretty basic, requires opening Media FX, and there's no auto-correct option there are, however, presets for Brighter, Darker, More Contrast, and so on. One useful button it does offer is Create Subclip, and you can send your cuts right to the timeline.Īnother useful feature I've been seeing in video editors of late is the ability to drag the corners of clips in your timeline to create fade transitions-the most frequently used type of transition. Nor does it let you mark multiple in and out cuts as you can in PowerDirector's multi-trimmer or in Apple Final Cut Pro X's source panel. Unlike in the main window toolbar, you can't customize the buttons on this trimmer.
It's a cluttered and difficult-to-use tool, compared with other products out there. Instead, you see the audio waveform above 19 toolbar buttons.
The view in this panel is a little strange compared with other apps' similar tools, as there's no clear scrubber or insertion point like those you get in most app's trimmers. This is where you trim both source clips and timeline video. You can also trim clips before they're on the timeline, by clicking the Trim tab under the source panel. Actually there are three Trim buttons-one that cuts everything before the insertion point, one that cuts everything after, and one that leaves only the region you've selected. New for this version are buttons that no video editor should be without: Split and Trim. Basic Video Editing When you start creating a project, a dialog for setting "common presets" chose for my first project were AVC-HD 1080i in NTSC format with stereo sound, which made sense for a disc burning project for a US location.
