If you need to edit files stored on your computer, click Import Media, locate the files on your hard drive, and click Open.

To start editing video or make slideshows, drag and drop selected files to the Storyboard or Timeline.

To apply a video effect to your video, first click the Effects button to display the included effects. To apply an effect, simply drag and drop it onto the desired thumbnail on Storyboard or Timeline. You're able to preview the final result in the preview window immediately.
