[Darcness666]

I am running this program and there is no Track Manager button. How do I set it so that this button shows onscreen?

Hi. Is there any way to make a dvd menu with play and scene selection and stuff like that?

[johnboy1uk]

Yes, you can do all of this with this software, if you select the share step and create disc it will take you through this process step by step. There is also a tutorial that I have made that will show you this

[poodlespirit]

thanks for the overview of it i just got it is it supposed to be better than sony vegas?

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, I wouldn't say it's better than Vegas but it is a lot easier to use with a nice simple interface and still quite a powerful tool

[poodlespirit]

@johnboy1uk ahh ok thanks for the imformation

[InfernoDragonHeart]

I'm having a hard time shutting the audio... can someone help me? Thx in advance!

[johnboy1uk]

Do you mean muting the audio? If you select audio view and the attributes tab you will be able to alter the volume of the clip

[noffelz]

is there a way to make the clip go normal speed and then slow mo all in one clip?

[johnboy1uk]

Yes you can do this, just cut the clip where you want it to slo-mo and alter the video playback speed under the video tab

[YoungBucksFather]

aint the video gonna lose some of its quality if i use smart proxy ?

[johnboy1uk]

@YoungBucksFather No, it's only the proxy file which is of lower quality, not your original video

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, I'm not sure about Jing but it does record the screen and you can add visuals so I suppose you can

[johnboy1uk]

@computerguy999 Thanks, use a screen capture program such as Camtasia Studio, this is the one that I use, you might be able to find a free one if you do a search

[bongmanding]

I appreciate this video, I got this corle software as a xmas gift. I am a newbie here in video editing, I just wanna do it for fun and I am only on my second day figuring out on how to use this, that's why I do appareciate your effort for posting this. God bless you.

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, thanks for the comment, much appreciated, if you get stuck have a look at the other tutorials or just post a question, cheers, John

[adasiekk2]

yo, i need ur help, how do u make ur title at the beggining of the film? not on the film but before.

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, not quite sure which title, the one with the words "An Introduction To The Corel Video..." ?

[dappcr]

How do you move a video along the timeline, say I want to play a title first then have the video start? I just can't work it out and I can't find anywhere that tells you how to do it?

When I move the cursor over the clip I've inserted it goes to four arrows as if it's a move toll but it won;t let me move the clip along the timeline.

HELP

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, have a look at the post below, it might help you!

[litenzo]

How do you add the fist clip where you have the title frade in with white letters???? I tried and tried and i cant do it.

[johnboy1uk]

Go to the media gallery and select the drop down menu, go to colour menu and choose a colour, you can then drag and drop onto the time-line

[litenzo]

Thank you sooo much it took me a lot to figure it out (what a dork) but, one last question. Do you know how to make a video go in fast motion or slow motion?? Thank you soooo much for your help.

[johnboy1uk]

Highlight your video on the video track by clicking on it, select the video tab and you will see an adjustment for playback speed, when you select it you will be able to speed up or slow down your video, there is a quicker way by holding the shift key and then draging the clip to change the speed

[BuggyMasters]

how in the world did you get your vid to fill the preview window? My clips are HD 720P but when you view them they have black bars above and below. I haven't found anything that will allow me to tell program that preview window should be 1280*720. Still shows proj as 720*480

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, you can open up the preview window by draging the grab handles to the right and the bottom of the window, is this what you mean?

[transparencypro]

i would like to know if i can have more than one video layer on it or is the other layers just for photos. and what about multiple audio tracks.

[fuge805]

thanks a bunch

[johnboy1uk]

No probs, glad you liked it :)

[jessymezzy53]

hi, when I try to save the video an command box appears and the program closes... is there an update for that too? I have the trial version. Thank you

[skyieflow0]

Well i have Proplem when i try to Make the Vid More Speed i Change it But then it's just been Closed i have no Idea why:P but anyhow that's Nice Tutorial thanx

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, there's a link in your inbox to an update which might cure it, try it and see

[sthrgrace]

Hi John.. I don't have the overlays icon! u can help me where can i add this icon?

[johnboy1uk]

Hi, if you look at the Step Panel 0:32 in the video it is there. The Overlay Track is situated directly below the Video Track. If you want to add anything to the Overlay Track you do not have to click on anything just drag and drop your media on to it. I think this is what you mean. Just let me know if you have a problem

[quarn23]

Another great vid. Keep them coming :)

[johnboy1uk]

Thank you, I'm glad that you appreciate them, cheers!
