Piecing it all together.
Now the Fun Part ......
In my example I started off the video with: 2 stills, then 2 video clips, 2 stills and finished with a video clip.
You can use any order that you want to use, the basics are the same no matter what you do!
(remember you can "play your video at any time using the video controls).
Select the "Collections" and select you first image

Select the still image or video clip by left mouse button click.
Holding down the "left hand mouse" key drag the image over the VIDEO and release the mouse.
You'll see the picture appeared in the timeline. (Add a couple more using the same technique).

You can use the magnifying glasses to zoom in and out of the time line.

Here you can see that I have clicked the "+" a couple of times.
The Dark Blue line shows you where you are in the editing window. If you hover the cursor over the blue box on the times section
it will automatically attach to the cursor and you can move it to where you want to edit next.

In my example I now click the "Clip_01" folder

To just after my Image1.

Now would probably be a good time to use the "- magnifying glass" icon.
The next picture shows I have added another clip and my final still photographs.

and here is my final time line with the stills and video all in place. I've used the magnifying icons to fill the time line.

Depending on how you are doing your soundtrack, recorded voice as a talking head video or recorded a voice over separately on your computer
you'll probably want to play around with the Audio levels when the video is finished. You change the bias from video or sound track using the
little volume control icon. Below is an example where the voice is with the video clip and you want to add some music to the video.

Adding a music track (or separate voice over recoding) is simple. Using the "Import into Collections"
browse to the file you want to use and import it.

Here you can see I've added a music track called Colours (by Donovan.)
Select it (left click) then drag it (hold down left mouse key) and drag it onto the Audio / Music timeline.

As you can see, my music clip was a lot longer than the video, so zooming out I can now put my cursor over the end of the music clip and drag the
end of the music clip back to the end of the video.


A very good time to save our project.

If you want to you can now add some transitions between the stills and the video.
Select the Video Transition and you can now browse the various transitions supplied.
To add, you select and drag to the point between the stills / video clips you want that transition.


Here is my final video with a handful of transitions added.

BUT WHO ARE YOU ?????
We should not forget to add a simple title to the beginning of your video letting everyone know who you are!
If you select Tools >> Credits

This will pop up.

If you want the text on a black background then use the "title at beginning" option. This will be inserted correctly by moving everything in the timeline.
If you want the text to "overlay" the opening video use the "title on the selected clip" >> make sure your blue timeline marker is at beginning on timeline.
Add the text you want.

Click the Done "link".

And your title is now added correctly.

Now would be a really good time to play the entire move to make sure your happy with it.
Correct any volume issues between video sound and Music track using the slider.
Save the Project and lets get this work of art ready for uploading to ModelBuzz or and site that accepts Windows Streaming Video ...
