Working With AVS Video Editor

AVS Video Editor

Working with AVS Video Editor is quite simple and does not require any specific knowledge on video editing. All you need is to follow simple steps in creating and editing your own video.

1. Start AVS Video Editor. A new project will be automatically created for you or a previously edited one will be opened.
2. Set the project and video parameters. This is necessary for the correct and comfortable work and video creation and editing.
3. Import the media files that you want to be included into your movie (videos, audio tracks and images) or you can capture your video if it is recorded on a DV camera, for instance.
4. Put the imported or captured video to the Timeline/Storyboard Area. This is necessary to form the succession of video clips in your future movie and for editing them.
5. Start editing your movie by adding transitions between video clips in the Timeline/Storyboard Area.
6. Add video effects to your video and edit them as you like.
7. Add text captions to your movie where necessary.
8. You might want to add video overlay effect or change the movie soundtrack or record your voice from microphone.
9. When all the editing is done, you will need to save your video into a file or record it onto a disc or upload it to a portable device of yours. You can also create a DVD menu for you movie in case you save it into a DVD format.

And that’s just it – as an output you will get a video that can be watched using a favorite program or a device of yours.

Using Crop Scale

AVS Video Editor – Using Crop Scale

When you import video files of one aspect ratio and then change the aspect to a different value for the output video, there can be two different situations which can be solved in a similar way:

the input files have the 4:3 aspect and the output file will have the 16:9 aspect ratio – in this case the mattes will be added to the left and right sides of the video image to prevent distortion;
the input files have the 16:9 aspect and the output file will have the 4:3 aspect ratio – in this case the mattes will be added to the top and bottom sides of the video image to prevent distortion.

In both these cases you can get rid of the mattes using the Crop Scale option available in AVS Video Editor. Select the necessary aspect ratio and click the video at the Timeline with the right mouse button. Choose the Crop Scale option. The Crop Scale window will be opened:

In the above figure you can see an example of the first above case of the aspect ratio change – an input 4:3 video image changed into an output 16:9 video file. As you can see, mattes are added to the sides of the video so that it could fit an 16:9 frame (the black bars on top and bottom of the video are added simply to fit it into the square player window and will not actually be added to the output video).

Now if you use the field and click the button, the slider will become available that will let you change the visible part of the video. Move the slider using the mouse to get rid of the mattes:

Note: using the Crop Scale function will enlarge the video image so that it could fit a new frame size with an aspect different from that of the original video. It means that a part of the video, namely some video image at the top and the bottom parts will be cut out and lost.

And this is how your transformed cropped video will look like in the Preview Area:

As you can see, the resulting video has no mattes on either side. At the same time it is slightly enlarged and cropped on top and bottom. So you will have to decide what is more important for you: have video fit your display or TV-set screen or have the whole source video image.

AVS Video Editor - Using Trim and Multiple Trim Options

After you add your video to the Timeline/Storyboard Area and edit it, you can still trim it and detect scenes and insert transitions between them.

Click the main video area at the Timeline and use the Trim button of the Timeline Toolbar to open the Trim window. Or alternatively click the video at the Timeline with the right mouse button and select the Trim option.

Please read the Trimming Video section to learn how to use the Trim option.

The same way the Multiple Trim option can be used to find scenes in your video added to the Timeline/Storyboard Area. Open the MultiTrim window either clicking the MultiTrim button of the Timeline Toolbar or using the right mouse button on the main video at the Timeline and selecting the MultiTrim option. The opened MultiTrim will look like this:

Please read the Trimming Video section to learn how to use the MultiTrim option.

Splitting Videos into Chapters

AVS Video Editor - Splitting Videos into Chapters

If you plan to create a DVD with a menu, it will be useful to split your video into chapters beforehand. Select the Chapters button of the Menu Panes.

The following window will be opened:

You can choose either to set chapters automatically using the Auto Set Chapters button, or create them manually using the Add and Delete buttons.

If you select the first option (Auto Set Chapters) you will need to opt for one of the variants – At the Beginning of Each Clip (in this case a new chapter will be created at the beginning of each new clip added to the Timeline/Storyboard Area) or At a Time Interval (in this case you will need to select a time interval which will determine a new chapter creation). The interval window will let you select the desired interval:

Note: the At the Beginning of Each Clip option will only add chapters to your video if more than one clip is added to the Timeline/Storyboard Area. In case only one clip is added to the Timeline/Storyboard Area the only chapter will be created at the beginning of the movie.

The second option is used the following way: click the place at the timeline scale where you want you chapter to begin and use the button to mark the beginning of a new chapter. Or select an already added chapter and use the button to remove it from the video.

When you add all the chapters they will be displayed in the Files and Effects Area:

Use the Update Images button to refresh the thumbnails of the chapter beginnigs.
