E. EDITING WORKSPACE
The editing workspace is where you create your project by adding your
media, various effects, transitions, and titles. The editing workspace has
two different views, the Timeline and Storyboard view.
The timeline view lets you view your entire project
based on running time. This view is useful if you want
to insert effects, subtitles, etc. at a specific moment in
production.
The storyboard view is essentially a large graphical
display of your project, which can help you visualize
the scenes and the overall production more clearly.
