Using Make Movie ModeYou enter Make Movie mode ( Figure 2.16 ) by selecting the Make Movie tab at the upper left of the Studio interface (see Figure 2.6). This takes you to the controls for outputting your work. Figure 2.16. The Make Movie dialog box is your last stop in the production process. Note the tabs at the upper left that let you select the output type.
Note that Studio customizes the Make Movie interface based on output type. In Figure 2.16, I'm about to produce a DVD of a recent trip to Charleston. As you can see, Studio shows a Diskometer-like view of the amount of space available on the DVD, and clicking the Settings button launches a dialog box with options specific to the selected output medium ( Figure 2.17 ). Figure 2.17. Click Settings to see the detailed encoding options for the selected output medium (here we see the settings for DVD output).
As indicated on the vertical panel on the left of the Make Movie tab (see Figure 2.16), you can also output to tape (see Chapter 13) and produce digital files, including AVI, MPEG, and streaming media formats (see Chapter 14). |

Using Undo and RedoExperimentation is a major part of the video creation process, which means trying and discarding lots of options. Studio makes this process painless with an exhaustive Undo/ Redo feature that saves up to 64 edit decisions made since the project was loaded for the current editing session. You can even save your project file and then undo previous edit decisions (a rare option in my experience) and, of course, redo them all if you change your mind again. Note that the redo and undo functions don't work on a movie once you've rendered it and output it to AVI, MPEG, or some other digital video format. To undo an edit
