The following screenshots offer a brief introduction to how Vivia works. Most of the screenshots are from v0.1.1, but some are older.
Managing Your Media Files
|
On the right side of the screen we see the available media files. (v0.1)
|
Working with the Timeline
The Timeline is where you arrange your clips for your movie.
You can add a clip to your movie by dragging a file from the Files window onto the Timeline.
You can edit a clip directly on the Timeline with the tools that appear when a clip is selected.
|
Clip Editing: Here we see the end of a clip being adjusted.
Notice the red clip tool on the timeline; that is the currently active tool. In the video area we see the last image of the clip we're editing and the first image of the next clip.
|
Working with the Clip Edit Bar
With the Clip Edit Bar you can select what segment of the media file should be used for the clip.
The Clip Edit Bar is located above the Timeline, and is displayed when a clip is selected on the Timeline.
|
Clip Editing: here we are using the blue triangular handle at the
right end of the clip to adjust the clip's duration.
|
Working with the Transition Edit Bar
The Transition Edit Bar is used to edit the points where two clips meet.
It is located above the Timeline, and is displayed via the Clip Edit Bar or by clicking on a transition on the Timeline.
|
Cut points: cut points are where one clip ends and the next clip
begins without any special transition.
Here we see a cut point being edited, and the images show
where the clips meet.
You can make fine adjustments of the cut point using the
"jogger" controls.
|
Dual View: when editing a transtion, you can select among three
different view modes.
Here we're viewing the images from both clips A & B at
the selected position on the timeline.
|
View Ends: use this mode to view the images from both clips at both
the start and end of the transition.
The images on the top are from clip A ("lights-1"), and on
the bottom we see clip B ("sunset-1"). The two images on the left are at
the start of the transition, and the two on the right are at the end of the
transition.
|
View Result: use this mode to see the how the transition combines the
two clips.
Here we see the middle of a "Fade" transition.
|
| Multicam |
Multicam mode with two clips displayed. (v0.1)
|
Multicam mode with two clips plus the output displayed. The frame we see is
near the end of a cross-fade transition. (v0.1)
