The Storyboard tab in the content area of the Video Editing screen is displayed by default when you select the Make > Slide Show entry in the Content screen. The Storyboard tab displays the Video 1 track for video clips, pictures, and transitions as well as the default Narration and Music tracks.
On the Video 1 track, video clips are always indicated by filmstrips to distinguish them from pictures. Every first frame is displayed as a thumbnail. If the first frame is black, the thumbnail is displayed in black. Below each thumbnail the duration and title of the clip are displayed. A input field for descriptions can be activated by double-clicking in the area between thumbnail and duration/title display. These notes will not appear in the preview or in your final video.
You can drag and drop new clips or photos from the My Media palette to the placeholders at the end of the track as well as transitions from the Effect Palette. To change the position of a clip or photo, simply drag the respective item to the new position and drop it between two others. Transitions can be placed between any two clips.
You can move, trim or delete narrations and soundtracks; all other items in the track keep their position. If a video clip includes sound, an additional wave icon is displayed in the top right corner of the thumbnail. To open the Trim window of any picture or video clip, double-click the thumbnail or the respective icon in its top right corner.
