Creating Videos

Once a new project is created or an older one started, you can begin work with the media files you have on your computer hard disk drive. Normally, the work with the videos is started with importing media files that you have on your computer or an optical disc into AVS Video Editor program.

Click the Media Library button to view what media files are already loaded into AVS Video Editor. If you opened a blank project, no video, audio or image files will be loaded into the program. Load your media files to the empty project or add some additional files to the running project. This can be done the following way:

• You can import the media files - videos, audio and images - into the program;
• You can capture your video from a capture device of yours - a miniDV camcorder or something alike - and then these captured videos will be automatically imported into the program.
• You can record your desktop - capture any operations you see and perform on the screen - and then these recordings will be automatically imported into the program.

In either case after the files are added to the Media Library you need to place them to the Timeline/Storyboard Area to be able to edit them.
