Building a project
Let’s get to the fun stuff and start building a project, shall we?
Set your SpeedEDIT windows to Storyboard at the top and Timeline on the bottom.
With a project setting of HDV 720p, navigate to the QuickStart Folder that was installed from
the Content DVD in the Add Media panel. Start by adding the opening music and narration in the
\Footage\Audio folder. Since we are going to be returning to this folder, let’s make a
QuickTab for faster navigation by clicking on the ‘+’ key in the Add Media lower left corner.

QuickTab for faster navigation by clicking on the ‘+’ key in the Add Media lower left corner.
When the QuickTab is added, it is highlighted in blue and show the
entire path. We don’t need to know that in the future, so let’s
shorten the tab’s name. Right-click on the tab itself and select
Rename Tab… In the Enter New Text window, just type in Audio.
Now, we have a quick way to return to this folder from either the
Add Media or Filebin views.
Still in the Audio folder, select the BGMusic.WAV and click Add at the bottom of the window.
Our music bed now appears in both Storyboard and Timeline views. As you’ll see later,
SpeedEDIT’s unique linked Storyboard/Timeline views are very handy.
Click in the Timeline window to make that the active window, and then press the Home key. This
will set the Edit Line to the beginning of the project, 00:00:00. Now, hold the Ctrl key and tap
the right arrow key twice. That places the Edit Line at 00:02:00 (two seconds). Now, in the Add
Media window, select Nar-1.WAV and click Add. This adds our opening narration at this point in
the project. Press the Home key to return to zero and then the spacebar to play.

Now, add our opening video sequence
from \Tutorial\Footage\Graphics
by dragging SE Logo.avi into the
Storyboard. At the bottom of the
SpeedEDIT window, click the Deck
Control STOP button. This will move the
Edit Line to the first frame of the
selected clip, in this case our avi at the
top of the project. Press spacebar to
play.
At about 00:06:00 in our project, the narration
pauses after he says “The World’s Fastest
Video Editor”. Let’s add a cutaway here. In the
\Tutorial\Footage\Overlays\ drag Over1-
Left.m2t down below our narration track, and
align it within the silence, as below:
You may notice that there are not fixed audio,
video or effects tracks. By design, NewTek lets
you layer clips in any order you choose. If you
want to place graphics at the top (as we’re
doing here) or the other way around,
SpeedEDIT accommodates your style.
