Editing standalone movies

Post by ccardimon »

Can standalone movies be edited to speed them up? Can I delete frames from the output without killing them altogether?

You can either change the timing for a frame or delete it altogether.

Or, if you want to get fancy, you can skip a frame, only going to it if the user clicks the appropriate button.

I use a combination of these, capturing many extra frames using the print screen button, then deleting the extras. Next I adjust the timing, about 10 seconds (depending on the screen shot and amount of information). I also edit the timing for the mouse pointer movement, typically stating 1.5 to 2.5 seconds before the end of the frame, depending on how far it travels.
