Browse, and browse through the hundreds of places you can save your

or the Device Requirement wizard. If you can't locate the wizard you
need, refer to the Help wizard.
e) If you can't access the Help wizard, call tech support,
cross your fingers, and hope you get someone who actually works at the
company.
3. After your movie-making program has downloaded the footage
and created video clips, you can finally start to make your movie. Is
your computer running a little slow now? Did you remember to make room
on your PC for this massive video project? Yes, of course you have to.
You can always reinstall what you remove. Make sure your PC is equipped
with a 600-megahertz processor, 128 megabytes of RAM, and 2 gigabytes
of space on your hard drive. However, a 1.5-gigahertz processor, 256
megabytes of RAM, and 4 gigabytes of space on your hard drive is
recommended. Why didn't we say that in the first place? Well, we like
to give you options. Make sure your computer is up to par, and let's
move on.
a) Arrange your video clips in the order you'd like them to appear.
b) To trim video clips, open the Clip menu, choose Trim, then click on your footage and edit away.
c) You want music in your movie? You'll have to import that using a different program. Refer to your program documentation.
d) Photos? Now you're pushing it.
e) Add all the effects (available in a separate program), titles, and
credits (available in a separate program) you need to complete your
movie. Now you're on your way.
4. In order to play the movie you've just created, you may need special
software. Refer to your program documentation for ways to play and
share your movie.
5. Take a bow. Wasn't that easy?
