If you have worked through the complete edit you should now know the basics of EDIUS. You may also want to make a file to be shared with others or uploaded to YouTube, using EDIUS Print To File option There are a couple of simple things which can stop the disc burning from working, explained here. Making a DVD is very much like making a Blu-ray disc – we explain how. If you do not immediately burn a disc using the EDIUS disc creator you can burn a disc using the files you have already made and the EDIUS’ disc burner tool. The edit is finished and we now want to make a Blu-ray disc of the results. Some quick notes on other titling options with EDIUS such as add-on programs like VisTitle. Now we add a tile using a video track instead of EDIUS titling tracks, and discuss the differences. We now add a fade in on the audio at the start and a fade out at the end.Īdd a quick caption using EDIUS’ QuickTitler to identify the two speakers. In this edit we just need to even out the sound levels and sort out the fact that some clips are only on one side and not the other. Now we want to drop a clip over some existing clips on the timeline to hide a bad cut – which used to be called an “insert edit” in the days of tape decks. The answer: a split edit, sometimes called an “L-cut” or a “J-cut”. Sometimes you have to have the audio start or stop at a different place to the video. When you add clips to the timeline you either overwrite what is already there or move clips out of the way to make room by choosing to use either insert or overwrite mode. The clips are on the timeline, we now need to refine the edit. The most important thing you should remember to do when editing – save the project. We now add all the other clips to the timeline Having imported the footage we now need to look at it and add it to the timeline. In this chapter we bring in AVCHD footage using EDIUS’ source browser, which works for most card-based formats. The first step in any edit is bringing in the clips.
The first thing you need to do is choose your project settings – which do you choose any why?Ī quick look at EDIUS’ windows, how to arrange them and what they are all for.
