1. Gather your resources under the Capture tab
   
1. Capture the video from the camera using the video controls on the screen.
2. Import sounds (music and audio)
3. Import still pictures (JPEG files)
   
2. In the Edit screen (also from the View menubar,)
   
1. drag the resources to the storyboard in the desired order.
2. add desired transitions
3. add the desired audio
6. add desired voiceover
3. From the Make Movie screen (also from the View menubar), choices can be made to saving the file for a variety of purposes:

• Send movie back to camera tape (best quality)
• AVI file format to be inserted into PowerPoint XP but is very large in file size. If the file is saved as AVI then it must be taken into QuickTime Pro and exported as an AVI movie to compress the file into a manageable size. Videos should be small, preferably under 4 megabits
• MPEG file format which is better quality but is very small physical size.
  

1. When grabbing stills from the video, ALWAYS save the still as a JPEG, not as a BMP. Bitmapped files are very large. If used in Studio 8, may crash the program because of the large memory requirements.
   

• Bitmapped files are very large!!!
• JPEG files are much smaller.
• DO NOT just grab the still and insert it into the video. It can be lost if the video is not immediately made.
  

2. Notice that the Studio 8 video storyboard has several tracks:

• video
• audio tied to video
• text for titles
• additional audio for voiceover
• music

3. Notice that from the menubar, under the Album, selections can be made to

• captured video
• transitions
• titles

4. Notice that under the Toolbar menu,

• record a voice over
• add CD music (remember copyright!)
• create a title
