Modifying frame sequence and frame display time
You can edit movies by reorganizing and customizing the frame sequence. You can insert blank frames or movie files. You can also move frames and entire movie or image files. You can also delete frames to reduce movie playback time.
The display time determines the length of time that each frame displays on the screen. By changing the display time, you control the speed of moving objects. You can set a display time for individual or multiple frames.
