Abstract

Now that we have taken a tour of VideoStudio and seen how this prosumer level software package implements a high-level import-edit-export digital video editing paradigm, we can take a look at the Timeline editing approach in VideoStudio, since this is the approach used in other digital video editing software packages. The primary limitation with VideoStudio is that it has only one background or core video content track (the top track) and up to 20 overlay tracks.
