Video authoring
Click the Video Authoring button to open the PowerProducer program, which
allows you to finalize your digital video productions and burn them to disk.
Before you produce your movie using PowerProducer, first gather (or create) its
component parts: video clips, photos, and background music. You may collect
raw footage yourself with a camcorder or other recording device, or you may
simply use files that you have on hand; including movies you have already
created in a video editing program.
When your movie is ready for production, use PowerProducer, which offers
basic video editing tools. PowerProducer's production functions include:
burns CDs, DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs and editable DVDs
erases rewritable disks that contain unwanted content
copies disks
defragments disks for appending video content
burns DV content straight to DVD
sets chapters within video content
adds background music to videos and menus
offers custom menu layouts for buttons, frames and backgrounds
captures from DVD, firewire devices, analog capture cards, USB devices
and files
For help with authoring video, refer to PowerProducer's online help system.

to adjust the volume and control playback.
