For more details about starting movie projects, see “Project basics” on
page 51.
Import video clips to the Library
Let’s start with the most common situation—the shoot is done and
you’ve transferred your video clips and photos from your camera to
your computer. We can open Corel VideoStudio, and jump directly to
Edit workspace and the Library.
the
Quick start 1
The Library is the source for all your media, including video clips,
photos, and music. It also houses templates, transitions, effects, and a
variety of other media assets that you can use in your projects.
1 Click the Edit tab at the top of the application
window to open the Edit workspace. The Library panel appears in
t
he upper right corner of the application.
2 Create a folder for your project to keep all your videos together
by clicking the Add a new folder button
3 Type a name for the folder.
4 At the top of the Library, click the Import Media Files button ,
select the video clips and photos that you want to
.
use, and click
Open.
Note that the buttons at the top of the Library can be enabled and
disabled to filter the thumbnails by video, photos, and music. If you
don’t see the media you expect to see, check the state of these media
buttons.

Preparing for video editing
Video editing tasks require a lot of computer resources. Your computer
must be properly set up to ensure successful capturing and smooth
video editing. Below are some tips on how to prepare and optimize
your computer before you launch Corel
• It is recommended that you close other applications when
working with Corel
VideoStudio. To avoid interruptions while
capturing, it is best to turn off any automatically launched
software.
• If you have two hard drives in your system, it is recommended
that you install Corel
VideoStudio to your system drive (usually C:)
and store captured videos on your other drive.
• It is recommended that you store video files on a dedicated hard
drive.
• Increase the Paging File (Swap File) size to twice your amount of
RAM.
When you are in Corel VideoStudio, you can choose settings that let
you balance the quality of the playback and the speed of the
application. For example, is your playback fast but fuzzy? Or is your
playback too slow? The tips below can help you find the right settings
