Placing Imported Media Files to the Storyboard/Timeline

When your video is ready to be added to your future movie, you can add it to the Timeline/Storyboard Area. This can be simply done drag-and-dropping the video with the mouse from the Files and Effects Area to the Timeline/Storyboard Area:

Click the Media Library button of the Menu Panes, select the video clip to be added and, without releasing the left mouse button, drag the file to the Timeline/Storyboard Area and only there release the mouse button dropping the file.

If you do not like drag-and-dropping or simply prefer some other methods, it is possible to use the Express Menu to add files to the Timeline/Storyboard Area. Click the file to be added with the right mouse button and select the Add to Main Video option:

The selected file will be added to the Timeline/Storyboard Area:

The files of all types are added the same way - videos, audios, images and colors - you can either drag-and-drop them or use the Express Menu. Just select the necessary category in the Files and Effects Area and add them to the Timeline/Storyboard Area using one of the methods described above.

After that you can manage the Timeline/Storyboard Area layout and files order.
