WHAT IS MOVIE EDITING TOOL

Movie Editing tools are editing software and we can also say them as
application software which handles the post –
Production video editing of digital video sequences on a
computer non-linear editing system (NLE).

TYPES OF MOVIE EDITING TOOLS

1. Windows Movie Maker :- Movie Maker is an excellent, full-featured

option for the average home user. It is use to post produced movie editing
with effects.

2. Virtual Dub :- VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit

and 64-bit Windows platforms. It has batch-processing capabilities for
processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party
video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files,
although it can read (not write) 3 MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP
images.

3. Wax :- Wax is a high performance and flexible video compositing and

special effects software. The idea for Wax is to be very general purpose
and flexible in video compositing and effects, so that you can compose
your dream video sequence with ease every time.

available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public

of paid software's but perform basic editing and output movies pretty easily.

7. Mewa Film :- It is a non-linear editing tool, called montage (this name

might change) where video files are shown as a sequence of images layed
off horizontally. The video files can then be assembled and cutted using
intuitive actions as “drag and drop” and “rubber band selection”.

8. DVD Knife:- DVD Knife is a simple tool for extracting DVD

clips from your DVD’s. The clips will be stored in VOB format
only. This is the simplest and fastest tool in its category which
has ability to extract long VOB clips in few seconds.

fast and lossless AVI editing. This freeware AVI editor is small,
smart, easy to use and involves no encoding/decoding
processes. No video / audio degradation and out of sync
problem arises after editing.

10. Cinefx Jashaka:- Cinefx is an offline playback, editing,

encoding, animation and visual effects tool based on the
Jahshaka technology that allows you to create professional
digital media on your desktop. Use the tools that hollywood
uses to create blockbuster films and special effects.

WHAT IS STORYBOARD
The storyboard is the default view in Windows Movie Maker.
We can use the storyboard to look at the sequence or
ordering of the clips in your project and easily rearrange them,
if necessary. This view also let us see any video effects or video
transitions that have been added. Audio clips that have added
to a project are not displayed on the storyboard, but we can
see them in the timeline view.T

WHAT IS TIMELINE

The timeline view provides a more detailed view of our movie

project and allows us to make finer edits. Using this timeline view,
we can:-
1) Trim video clips, adjust the duration of transitions between
clips, and view the audio track.

2) Review or modify the timing of clips in your project. Use the
timeline buttons to switch to storyboard view, zoom in or out
on details of your project, narrate the timeline, or adjust the
audio levels.

WHAT IS PREVIEW MONITOR

The preview monitor enables us to view individual clips or an entire

project. By using the preview monitor, we can preview our project
before publishing it as a movie. We can use the buttons underneath
the preview monitor to play or pause a clip, or to advance or rewind
a clip frame-by-frame. The Split button allows us to split a clip into
two parts at the point displayed in the preview monitor. The
preview monitor can be made larger or smaller by clicking View,
pointing to Preview Monitor Size, and choosing a size. The window
can be dragged to make it larger or smaller.

When a clip is to be trimmed, a new start and/or end trim point is made.
The start trim point determines when the clip will begin to play, and the end
trim point determines when the clip will stop playing in our project and final
movie. When we trim a clip, the trimmed part of the clip is not actually
removed from the source file; it's just hidden so the trimmed part doesn't
appear in our project or published movie.

selected video or audio clip to start playing back, click Clip, and then
