• Once you have captured all your clips you have to put them in the right order and tidy them up (Top & Tail). This is quite easy to do.
• Click on the picture of the first clip, which is resting in the project bin, it will then appear in the monitor window.
• Find your starting point in the video and select the In button. This is your In point.

• Place the clip on the construction window using one of the following methods
  • Select the 'place on timeline' button. This will place the clip onto the construction window for you.
  • Drag the picture onto the construction window, onto the video one track
• Now continue with your next clip and place it after the first clip on the timeline. The 'place on timeline' button will place it after the previous clip for you.
• Once you have edited all your clips and they are in the right order on the timeline you can press return or use the controller functions to play the whole video
