Load, synchronize & trim the action clips

When the Step 2 window is displayed, it shows the two processed background clips in small windows below two new blank windows (see illustration below).

Load clips containing action.

1.	Drag and drop clip containing the action into each of the two video display windows. Ensure that you match each clip with the background shown in the thumbnail below. The screen will appear as follows.

in our example, we will extract the left performer from its background and project it onto the background on the right.

Synchronize the video clips.

1.	Click and drag the timeline position indicator until you see an easily identifiable moment in the first video clip. For example, find the instant when a golfer hits the ball etc.

2.	Click and drag the yellow timeline (this represents the second clip) left or right until you see the same image in the second video clip.

Fine-tune the video frame selected using the left and right cursor movement keys of your keyboard.

Trim the clips

The action clips should also be trimmed in the same way as the backgrounds were in step 1. The aim here is to show only relevant detail. It will take your computer less long to create the SimulCam Fixed video clip.
