The storyboard view shows you your clips and transitions. It is great because it is simple and clear but when you start editing your movie you will need to work in timeline view as well.
The timeline view shows you the layers of your movie as well as the timing.
When first looking at it can sometimes seem very overwhelming.
At the very top of the timeline there are controls. They allow you to
- set the audio level
- narrate
- zoom in to make the timeline appear bigger (very useful when you want to see more detail)
- zoom out to make the timeline appear smaller (useful when you want to see the time of your whole movie)
- go back to the beginning of the movie
- play the movie
- go back to storyboard view
- Video: The first layer of the timeline view has your actual videos and pictures as you have put them in your movie. You can also see how they overlap with each other when transitions have been used.
- Transition: The second layer shows you your transitions. You can stretch them to get bigger. (For example if you want the two clips to fade into each other for a longer amount of time)
- Audio: This layer has the audio for your film. If you want to mute a clip you can easily right-click here and select mute.
- Audio/Music: This layer has any outside audio or music that you have brought in (ex. sound effects, narration, music). Note: When you insert it here, the audio is not attached to a clip so if you later rearrange or delete some clips you will probably have to move it's place in the timeline.
- Title Overlay: This layer shows you any titles you may have put in your movie like a subtitle, a title page or credits. It is easy to change the length it appears in your film from here. Just stretch it and move it around. You can also easily double-click on it to edit it from here.
