Sceneline

The sceneline displays one scene tile for each scene in your Video Recut. Use the sceneline to create a scene by dragging videos or photos, add a transition between scenes, change the order of scenes, and play your Video Recut. The timeline below the sceneline tells you how long your Video Recut is. When you select a scene tile, a portion of the timeline is filled in. This filled-in portion shows you how much of the video the scene you selected occupies. You can drag the

Playhead on the timeline or sceneline to advance or rewind your Video Recut.

Soundtrack drop zone

Use the Soundtrack drop zone to choose an audio file to play throughout your Video Recut. Choose an audio file in the Asset Library and drag it to the Soundtrack drop zone. The audio file loops—it starts from the beginning and

replays after it has finished playing. For detailed information about audio, see “ Adjust volume ” on page 144.

Global drop zone

Choose an asset in the Asset Library and drag it to the Global drop zone to apply the asset to every scene in your Video

Recut. For example, to place the same border on every scene, drag a border from the Asset Library to the Global drop zone. Borders, captions, effects, and graphics can be applied globally to all scenes. Photos, videos, and transitions cannot be applied to the Global drop zone.

Property Inspector

The Property Inspector has various tools for adjusting your scenes. For example, you can control the volume of a scene or the volume of a soundtrack; or reorder, remove, or adjust the captions, graphics, and other effects applied to the scene. You can also use the Property Inspector to add links to scenes, objects, or the entire video. Using the Property

Inspector can be helpful when adjusting an asset or effect that is behind another asset or effect.

To open the Property Inspector, double-click a scene tile or click the Wrench icon . To close the Property Inspector window, click the Return To Sceneline button .
