Process of working with timeline

Timeline is a temporal scale, corresponding to the time of the result video. The cursor of the timeline points to the frame in the result video. In its own turn, the preview window reflects the frame pointed by the cursor. Besides, you can change the sizes of the timeline, pressing the buttons 1&2, but the button number 3 returns the timeline to the initial size.



Timeline is responsible for video editing. By means of the timeline you can point and then delete some parts of the file from the result video. For this action you need to show the initial position of deletion (just click in a needed place) and, holding the button of the mouse, show the final position. After that you can delete the detailed area by the button "Delete" or "Add area of deleting".
All the actions can be cancelled. To do this, you have to choose the part you want to restore and press the button "Remove Area of Deleting".

Cutting out some parts from the initial video

    If you want to cut out this or that part of the video from the initial one, you need to work with "Video Editor". The process of editing is performed by means of timeline.





To delete some fragments, you have to choose this episode with the help of timeline and press the button "Add area of Deleting" or just push "Del" on your keyboard. The deleted part will be added to the list of "Deleted areas", and shown on the timeline. If you want to cancel the process of deleting, you need to point this part in the list of "Deleted areas" and then press the button "Remove Area of Deleting".
To cancel all the created changes, please, push "Remove All Areas of Deleting".
It is necessary to mention, that all the changes can be used only to the result video (the initial video will be without any alteration). In order to make all these changes, you just need to convert the file into one of the formats, chosen by you, and only after that, all the alterations will be really performed.

Joining several video files together

If you want to join some video files together, you need to open these files in Video Converter and then convert them into one of the formats, the one you wish. The opened files will be stick together automatically in the order, they are given in the window "Source files".


If you want to change the sequence of the files, please use the buttons "Arrow up"/ "Arrow down".



NB: the function "Split files" should be disabled; otherwise, the process of sticking the files will not be performed.

Splitting the video files

There are two ways how to split the video files:
You need to switch on the function "Split files" and choose the note "By size" – in this case all the parts of the divided file will be the same size, chosen by you.



The option "Batch mode" allows you to convert all the opened files in separate ones (by default, the files stick together).
If you want to split the files in some certain positions, it is necessary to switch on "Split files" and choose "Batch mode". After that, you need to open the file you are going to split in Video Converter. You need to open the file several times, according to the quantity of parts it file was divided into. In the section "Video Editor" you can delete some unnecessary episodes from the files. As a result, when the conversion is finished, you will get some files.
