This document provides instructions for using movie making software to create a video project. It outlines the 3 main tasks of capturing/importing media, editing the project, and finishing/saving the movie. It describes how to add video clips, pictures, transitions, effects, titles, and audio. It explains how to arrange the project on different tracks in the timeline and provides tips for previewing, trimming clips, and adjusting audio. The final steps cover saving the project file, exporting the finished movie, and playing it back.
