Main Window Areas
The main window (or Document window) as shown below, is made up of three areas:
Preview area -- the large area in the top left of the window
This is where you can preview your presentation.
What you see here corresponds to the
Scrubber
in the Timeline.
You may also change the positioning of your clips by just clicking on them and moving / resizing / rotating, etc.
Timeline -- the bottom part of the window
This area represents a horizontal timeline.
You place clips into the timeline.
The
Scrubber
in the timeline shows where in time you are editing your presentation.
Properties -- the top right side of the window
This area allows you to edit the properties of all of your clips (Screen, Video, Audio).
Here, you can add all sorts of effects, from reflection to volume changes.
Editing: The When and Where
Both the
Preview Area
and
Timeline
can be used to edit
clips
in your presentation.
Which area you will use depends on whether you want to edit the where the object is physically shown, or when it starts and stops:
When - the timing of when objects start and stop.
You use the Timeline
to adjust when objects start and stop in your presentation.
Where - the placement of objects in the canvas.
You use the
Preview Area
to move objects around inside the canvas.
For example, if you want to set the size of an object to 50% and move to the bottom right corner of the presentation,
you would do this in the Preview area.
