Why all frames are selected (Movie editing)

busybee wrote on 4/1/2012, 10:15 PM

I just bought a Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus the other day. (I had an older version and have been using that for make photo story). Today, I used my Canon T1i to record a short film, a butterfly flying around. So, I uploaded to my computer and I noticed that the file is a MOV file. I opened that with Movie Edit Pro 17 hopefully I can add some effects like fading, zooming and other stuffs. However, I noticed that the file is a one scene on the editing mode. I can see the frames but they are all selected automatically which unable me to do anything at all.

Can anybody help me please? Thank you in advance.

Hi

I am guessing you recorded the butterfly in one continuous take - that is why you have only one scene on the timeline and you need to cut it up this is none destructive

A pdf manual is installed with the sotware - from your Windows Start Menu select Programs, Magix, Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus, Documentation.

I would advise you to read this thoroughly the part you need immediately is on pages 109-110 - Cutting objects.
