Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
35
1. Create a Project
•
•
A movie project is a movie that is still open for editing and revising.
All of the source files and elements that make up your movie (videos, pictures, audio files) are
arranged in a desired sequence with effects and transitions to create your very own movie.
It is possible to create several unfinished projects at one time.
•
•
Opening a new project in the ‘Manage’ mode is the first step in creating your movie.
2. You are now ready you create your own movie by using the ‘Prepare’,
‘Effects’ and ‘Text’ mode features.

3. Find Media and Create Collections
•
•
•
•
The next step in creating a movie is finding the media files on your PC that you would like to
use in your movie project.
A movie is made up of video and photo files that are places sequentially with accompanying
audio and special effects.
Media on your PC can either be inserted directly from the “ Folder” (directory tree) of your
computer into your movie project or placed in a "Collection".
“Collections” are unique compilations of video, picture and audio files that are saved on your
PC that you think you might want to use in your movie project.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
37
•
Putting a file in a "Collection" does not add the file to the movie project or obligate you to do so.
It is just a convenient container for files that you think you might want to use at a later point.
4. Adding Media to your Movie Project
•
The next step is to actually add the media files to your movie project and begin shaping your
movie.
•
•
•
Click the “ Open Media” button to import media from your Computer to the Video Express
Click on the “ Get Media” button to download videos from the camcorder inserted.
Any file that you want to include in your movie is dragged or added to the
‘Timeline/Storyboard’ window.
•
•
This ‘Timeline/Storyboard’ window displays the files in chronological order.
Files that have been placed in the ‘Timeline/Storyboard’ can be easily moved, arranged and
added to or removed.
•
•
Various special effects and transitions between files can also be inserted to give your movie
a smooth, professional look and feel.
You can add ‘Text’ either as Titles or Credits to the beginning or end of your movie or as
overlay text that will appear anywhere you wish on the selected clip.

A:
First, ensure that you have in fact taken videos. Press the Shutter button a few times to take some sample
photos and then try downloading them again.
It is also recommended that you have an SD card inserted in the camcorder.
Secondly, the USB cable needs to be inserted in a free USB slot on your computer.
Thirdly, give your computer time to recognize that the device is inserted. If need be, refresh the device options
list until you see the removable devices appearing.
If the computer does not recognize your device it may mean that your computer does not meet the minimum
system requirements.
Please see the System Requirements section of this manual. If your computer does not match these
requirements then it is possible that you will not be able to transfer the photos and videos from your camcorder.
Q: I have downloaded the videos from the camcorder using the application and they appear in the Select
Photos section of the application. I double click on the video but nothing happens.
A:
In order to play video files through your Quickflix Companion you need to have Windows Media Player
installed on your computer and setup as the default media player.
