Timeline enhancements
Our users have told us what they wanted, and we have
listened.
• Place titles on any track to make them appear from
behind other layers.
• Place transitions at the beginning or end of clips on
overlay tracks.
•The Paste Attributes function lets you apply settings
and filters to multiple clips and batches of images.
Stop motion animation & time-lapse
Bring inanimate objects to life! It’s easier than you
thought!
• Capture still frames while viewing an overlay of the
previous frame. This “onion-skinning” makes it easy
to judge the amount of movement necessary from
one frame to the next to create lifelike animation.
• Convert video to a "time-lapse look" by automatically
removing a set number of frames.
DVD authoring
• The full-featured DVD authoring tool is back, with
better integration and new menus.
• Give your DVDs a professional touch by adding
chapters, objects and Note Menus.
• Create standard DVDs or show off your highdefinition videos on AVCHD or Blu-ray discs.
