Im rather new with this
product. What shall I start with?
If you are just starting your work with AVS Video Editor, the first thing you
do is creating a new project. There are 2 sample projects which are included in
the installation of the AVS Video Editor which you can take a look at - they
appear listed in the collection area when you first launch the software.
To create new project select File >> Project
>> New and specify the parameters for your project. Next
time you start the Editor, it will appear in the list of projects.
When you have created a project, you will be taken to the Editor main window,
which looks like this:
Here you can add multimedia data to your collections, place files on the
story-board, edit particular files.
For more information, please refer to our help file, which can be downloaded
from our web site or read online, under Getting Started section.

How do I add videos, audio
or pictures to my collections? What multimedia sources can I use?
To add a multimedia file to a collection, select Start menu in
the left hand side of the Editor interface. Then, depending on what type of
file you would like to add, select Import Media and then Add
Video, Add Audio or Add Image options.
When you click on one of these options, a Windows Explorer window will appear,
where you can browse your system for a particular file, including your HDD, a
CD, a DVD, inserted in your CD or DVD drive or removable devices, such as
portable HDDs or a photo camera, connected to your computer.
When you select a file or a group of files, AVS Video Editor will offer you to
place the files into the existing collection, or to create a new one.
If you are importing a video file, you can also split it into scenes, having
ticked the necessary option.
You can select Capture option and having configured the capture device,
capture video from your TV-Tuner, capture card or digital video camera,
connected to your computer. Please check out our help file for more information
about capturing.

How do I start editing a
particular audio track or a video clip?
When you placed a movie or several movie files in the story board, select the
Edit Movie option from the menu. Here you can add transitions,
effects, or mix audio. Each time you select a particular option, timeline mode
is switched on so that you can visually judge the editing process. To edit an
audio file in an audio editor, select the Mix Audio option,
add an audio track to the timeline and select Edit Audio in Editor
button (F4) in the timeline menue. After you are done with editing the audio
track, exit the Editor.

What is timeline and how do
I use it? How is it different from storyboard?
AVS Video Editor provides both timeline and storyboard
editing.
Storyboard editing allows users to put their video clips in
order as they would pictures on the page of a photo album with each picture
representing a separate video clip.
Timeline editing allows users to arrange their video clips
against the backdrop of a timeline. This is useful if you want to synchronize
sound effects, titles, and background music. They all can be queued to enter
the stage at a precise time.
