First thanks to all in the forum and in tech support for your help in my creating a four dvd slideshow/ movie show of my daughter's wedding. There were MANY, MANY glitches in the program to overcome including the need to update a host of drivers and QuickTime player. The manual, so-called, definitely needs to be updated. Perhaps tech support or some of the more knowledgeable members of this forum could come up with a how-to manual for newby's to EMC.

Tonight's question is this: How do I edit a movie clip? I can reset the start and end points, at least within Videowave and My DVD but how do I permanently remove content within the clip as well as at each end? I'd like to be able to save it eventually as a single clip.

There are a couple of different ways in VideoWave.

Once you put the movie on a storyboard, in the Timeline View, you can 'split' ( right click) the video into scenes you want to keep and delete the clips that you don't need.

There are also 'markers' ( - + ) just above the video that you can use to mark where you want to cut the video. Then clicking between the markers will allow you to delete scenes easily.

Also, check out the tips and tricks section of the forums.

Thank you. That's the tip I was looking for.

Personally, I'm becoming fond of the 'marker' method because I can go back and select the area between markers and delete the unwanted scenes all at one time. You just have to be careful and select the small x under the Storyline icon to delete the area between the selected markers.

Same preference here. Other usage is that you can use the markers as chapter markers in MyDVD.
