After you selected video file or image file, click "Open". A window with settings of object position in time will be open (for more information about object settings when you
add it to the scene, see the section "Settings of object position in time"). After you have configured settings and clicked "OK", you will be proposed to specify position
and size of the object; the cursor will take the crosshair form. Now select position of the added object on the scene, click the left mouse button and holding it down, set the
size of the object, and then release the mouse button.
P.S. Note that when an object is added to the scene, it is automatically added to the project resources and can be used an unlimited number of times. Removing an object
from the scene does not delete it from the resources while deleting a resource from a project removes all related objects in the scene.
To add an object using the toolbar
In order to add an object using the toolbar you should select an image of the added object and click on it. It will open a window proposing to choose a file, and further
actions will be similar to the actions specified in the previous item.
P.S. Note that this toolbar may be removed or added. For this purpose in "View" tab you should select or deselect corresponding item of "Editing tools" menu. Besides this
toolbar may be relocated and fixed in any position in video editor interface.
To add an object using drag-and-drop standard tool
Our video editor supports Windows drag-and-drop standard tool. It means that you can use file explorer to add
objects to the scene (or to project resources). For this purpose in file explorer choose a file, drag it to the
scene and drop mouse button the cursor will take the crosshair form and you will be able to choose position
and size of object for adding it to the scene as described above.
P.S. Note that when you use this method to add objects, settings window doesnt occur and properties are
automatically set for this object. It means that the time when object occurs will depend on cursor position in
timeline; duration of object will be equal to duration of video or audio file, or to 5 second in case of image. No
reference to parent object occurs.
To add object using project resources

Objects in project resources (for example images, video and audio files) may be added as a result of adding
objects to the scene or when files are directly added to resources. In any case you may use these objects to
create a scene. Drag-and-drop tool will help you to fulfill this target, i.e. you need to choose an object and drag
it to the scene. Further actions will be as described in previous adding methods.
Note that there is one special method of adding video files and images by using "Wizard" to arrange subsequent change of objects, or slide-show. For more information
refer to section "How to create slide-show: make sequential change of videos or images".

In this window you may set time of object appearance to the scene (effect start time), duration of display (effect duration), as well as its dynamics upon change of parent
object duration. Lets review in details each parameter:
by work area sets time of appearance and duration as per the marked working area on timeline (duration of video and audio objects is set not according to working
area duration, but in accordance with duration of video and audio material in a file).
From cursor position - sets time of appearance starting from cursor position on timeline and automatically sets duration to the end of the scene (duration of video and
audio objects is set not to the end of the scene but according to video and audio material in a file).
To cursor position sets time of appearance starting from beginning of parent object (scene or sprite) to cursor position on timeline (duration of video and audio
objects is set not to cursor position but according to video and audio material in a file).
Whole parent duration - sets time of object appearance and its duration equal to parent object duration. Connection of object duration with parent object duration is
also set ("Lock end position").
From scene begin - sets time of appearance starting from parent object. Object duration is manually set (except for video and audio objects which have duration set
according to duration of material).
To scene end - sets time of object disappearance equal to time of parent object disappearance. Duration is manually set. Connection of object appearance time and
its duration with parent object duration are also set ("Lock start position and "Lock end position").
From manual position time of object appearance and its duration are manually set.
To manual position time of object disappearance and its duration are manually set.
Lock start position - sets connection of object appearance time with parent object duration, i.e. if parent object duration is changed object appearance time will be
automatically recalculated.

Page 2 of 2
Lock end position - sets connection of object duration with parent object duration, i.e. if parent object duration is changed object duration will be automatically
recalculated.
We recommend to choose "Whole parent duration" option for filters and other effects covering the whole duration of parent object, because in this case "Lock end position"
option is set and when object duration is changed, effect duration will be automatically changed.
At the same time for transition effects we recommend to choose "From scene begin" or "To scene end". In such case options "Lock start position" and "Lock end position"
are set the way that when object duration is changed, duration of effect will not be changed, and effect finish time will always coincide with time of object disappearance if
you choose option "To scene end".

Then in order to add effect you should activate effects edit mode for the added image. You can do it with a double click on an image or by marking the object on timeline
and by opening the appeared tab with object name:
P.S. You can close the mode with a double click on a space outside the object borders or by clicking on a tab with parent object on timeline.
After it you will be able to add effects through menu in "Editor" tab:

Lets choose as an example a blur effect "Filters->Blur". Settings window of object position in time is open, and you should set time of effect start, its duration and dynamics
depending on parent object duration. After effect is added, it will appear in timeline list:
You can change automatically set parameters in object properties. For this purpose you need to mark effect on timeline (effects can not be seen on the scene), and in
settings window you will see effect properties. For these effects, for example, you can change blur intensity; you can also set original and final blur levels which enables to
make effect of stepless object blur or increasing of stepless contrasting effect.

After video format is chosen you need to choose a profile which sets quality of resulting video:
You can set profile yourself by clicking "Edit profile" and setting properties of video and audio codecs and then save them for further applying:
You can also indicate path to save video when exporting project:
And to finalize the resulting video: remove fragments from video, split file per markers or size. Use "Editor" tab to remove fragments and place markers.
After a click on this tab you will see a file editor window:

After project is converted you will receive a video file of the chosen format and you will be able to save it on CD or DVD.
Click "Disc Burner" tab and you will open the window assisting to work with a compact-disc: burn or remove data, make multisession discs, edit their content and make
DVD video (for this purpose you need to export video in DVD format). The tool looks as follows:
In order to create disc image for burning it to disc, you will need to create necessary catalogues and add files into list of files to be burned. Work with this window is
organized the same way as with Windows file explorer. In order to burn the created project you need to click "Burn disc" button, choose disc name and burn speed. You
can also close disc (finalize) if you dont want to make multisession disc:

You will see the form with properties for project export.
Choose "Editor" tab and locate markers at the points where you want the file to be split and click "Apply changes"
http://www.videosoftdev.com/how-to-split-video-file
28/06/2014
Page 2 of 3
Then choose split method "By markers". Note that you can split a file not only by markers but also by size of separate parts of result file.
After all properties are set, click "Convert files" to convert project to one of available formats. Result file will be split into parts in accordance with the selected properties.
The advantage of this method is its speed no need to prepare project; you only need to select properties according to which splitting will be performed. Disadvantage of
the method is the fact that you cant apply effects to separate parts of the split file because splitting points become known only at the end of file export.
2. If you want to apply effects to each of the splitted part, you should split a file into parties and place each of them into the separate scenes.
For this purpose you should add a file to the scene and click "Cutting and splitting" in properties tab to video object.
You will see a familiar window of video editing where you should place markers in the positions where we would like to split the file, and click "Apply changes". Program
will offer you to split the file by markers. After splitting all parts will be placed inside a sprite.
Now we add in project the necessary number of scenes as per number of separate parts and insert separate parts of the video in these scenes.Therefore we have one
split part in each scene and you can apply effects to each separate file.
In order to split the result file into parts by separate scenes which contain parts of the original video file, you should deselect "Join scenes to single" when exporting project.
http://www.videosoftdev.com/how-to-split-video-file
28/06/2014
Page 3 of 3
A certain advantage of this method is its flexibility, because each part of the file may be edited inpependently from the remining parts. Disadvantage is its complexity you
should perform additional actions to prepare such project.
3. You can also split video file into parts as per the first method and then edit each part at your discretion: apply effects, remove fragments or perform other editing actions.
Then you should export these fragments separately. Disagvantage of this method is a double transcoding of video that may reduce quality of result video. But if you
choose formats without compression, or use lossless compression, you can avoid loss of quality. Advantage of this methos is its simplicity and flexibility each part can be
edited independently from the previous parts.

You will see an editor window which enables to remove fragments from an object. In order to fulfil it, mark the region required for removal and click "Cut region". Then the
marked fragment will be deleted and added in the list of deleted fragments (you will be able to restore deleted fragments later).

After video file is edited click "Apply changes" in order to apply changes to the object. Due to the fact that duration of video or audio material will be changed after editing
and will not correspond to duration of object in the scene, the editor will inform you about it and will offer to set a new duration as per the duration of material.
P. S. Duration of video or audio material may not correspond to duration of object; in this case, depending on settings selected, video or audio material may:
be cut in accordance with object duration;
show the first frame during set time and then start playing video;
play video and show the last frame during set time.

You can achieve the same result using "Set blocks order" button. If you mark these objects on a timeline and click this button, you will automatically place objects
sequentially one by one. If you need to set interval between the marked blocks, click "Set order with offset". You may set object position by cursor position clicking "Move
blocks to cursor position" and "Align blocks by cursor position".
You may also set time of object appearance manually using object properties. For instance if duration of the first object is 343 frames
then we shall create scene with sequential objects by setting time of the second object equal to 343 frame.
After these actions both files will be merged in a result file during project export and will follow one the other.
Another method of merging several files is to use "Wizard". For more information refer to section "How to create slide-show: make sequential change of videos or
images".

We can see four regions here: a list of transition effect types between scenes, transition effects of the selected type, video player which displays the selected effects or
video, and a region with a list of files used for making a slide-show.
In order to make a slide-show you need to add files into a list and to add transition effects between them. In order to add a file you may click "Drag and drop media files
here" or to drag and drop the needed files in this position using a drag-and-drop tool. The files may also be added through a menu in a toolbar you need to click "Add
files" and then "Insert files", and the files will be added to the end of the list or to the chosen position accordingly. Upon opening the files will be displayed in the list in the
same sequence as for a slide-show:
You can remove or change sequence of files using several buttons on a toolbar. You can change order by dragging a file and dropping it on a new position.
You can also select a file in the list and see how it will look like after slide-show is completed by playing it in a player:
http://www.videosoftdev.com/how-to-create-slide-show
28/06/2014
Page 2 of 3
In order to see how the effect will be performed you need to mark it, and the player will automatically show this effect.
P.S. Player automatically plays video upon a click on any object: on an effect in the list of effects, on a file, on an effect applied to files.
You can delete effect through a toolbar or a menu.
After you set sequence of files and added transition effects you need to click "Apply settings". As a result a sprite will be added to the scene (sprite is an object consisted of
other objects) which consists of all files which we added and of the necessary effects.

After it you need to add background remover effect "Video effects->Transparent->Background remover". For this purpose you need to open effects editing mode of the
added video by clicking the object on the scene or choosing a tab with object name on timeline.
Then you need to set the added effect the way to remove the blue background. For this purpose set "Mode" parameter in "By
chromakey color" and set color of removed background. In order to set color youd better use eyedropper tool which enables to
get the needed color directly from the scene click "Get the color from scene" in effect properties and choose a color from the
scene.
If you chose a color incorrectly, image will be partially removed from the scene it is the consequence of poor lightning and shadows on it:
http://www.videosoftdev.com/how-to-remove-background-in-video
28/06/2014
Page 2 of 3
You may re-chose a color or set parameters which determine color difference in video from chromakey: "Min. brightness threshold", "Min. chromaticityU threshold" and
"Min. chromaticityV threshold". These parameters set difference in brightness and chromacity in color space YUV from the sought, i.e. set subspace of possible colors.
This condition strictly sets if the color will be displayed or not. But you can lighten the condition by selecting "Adaptive alfa" parameter which enables to set translucency for
the colors located on the border of the two subspaces. The following parameters - "Max. brightness threshold", "Max. chromaticityU threshold" and "Max. chromaticityV
threshold" set the second subspace, and starting from the second subspace translucency is calculated for the image.
Therefore if vector of difference in color is located in the first subspace, this color will remain; but if it is also located in the second subspace, a translucency coefficient will
be calculated for it; in case it is not located either in the first or in the second subspaces, the color will be replaced by the transparent one.
Translucency coefficient is calculated as follows:
R=((AlfaFactor*VLen)/64)+AlfaOffset
Where "Alfa factor", "Alfa offset" are parameters to be set,
VLen is a length of difference vector between chromakey and color at a point in UV space, i.e. brightness of the point is not considered.
Varying these parameters we obtain the following result:
Now we need to add any image or video file to the background. For this purpose you may add any object to the scene for our edited video:
http://www.videosoftdev.com/how-to-remove-background-in-video
28/06/2014
Page 3 of 3
Try to use well lightened background without shadows, because in this case the best chromakey will be selected.
Removed background and remaining image should have a maximum contrast. For instance in the given example you should not use red, orange and other
neighboring colors as a background, because color of clothes will be blended with the background.
You can remove borders in video in case if background in these regions is not intercrossed with the image which you would like to leave. It enables to increase
performance by reducing workable region.

After it we should add effect of background removal "Video effects->Transparent->Background remover" to original object and set it. We set work mode by mask "Mode: By
chromakey mask" and specify the mask in "Chromakey mask". We obtain the following result:
http://www.videosoftdev.com/how-to-remove-background-in-image
28/06/2014
Page 2 of 2
As you can see, practically whole background is removed except for several regions. This fact is resulted from "Mask resize factor" influence. For removing background not
the whole mask is used but its reduction copy (to accelerate work algorithm). "Mask resize factor" sets reduction level of the original mask, and "Resize mode" is the
algorithm of its size. Therefore if we reduce "Mask resize factor" to twenty, we shall have the following picture:

Now we need to set time the way that the first image fades in a bit earlier than the second one fades out. Note that the first object shall be placed under the second one.
For this purpose we use timeline and set order of the objects in accordance with the proposed method:
You can set exact difference in time of fading out and fading in by marking both objects on timeline and clicking "Set order with offset". In the open window enter time in
milliseconds this time sets interval of how long the object will intersect one the other (for instance, -1000 milliseconds).
Now lets open effects add mode of the first object by clicking a tab with its name on timeline:
And we add fade out effect through menu "Video effects->Transparent->Fade out". In the open window we enter effect duration equal to time of object intersection (1000
milliseconds) and click "Ok". Then effect will be added to the image and will smoothly increase its transparence during 1000 milliseconds up to its complete fading out. And
the object placed under this object will accordingly fade in.
Note that you can achieve the same target using "Wizard". For more information about this option refer to section "How to create slide-show: make sequential change
of videos or images".
