Hi David,

Yeah, I found the same problem when I started with the program.

I suppose I could say that I've since found that it's quite difficult to say how to do things when you have a program that allows you to do many things - there's often several ways to do the 'same thing'

My personal approach is to 'guess' what I want to do with a video and then see if I can actually do it. That usually means trying it and then asking the nice guys and girls here - if, why, how etc.

Most of the basic functions are already explained in the video tutorials etc but most folks here are willing to help out with specific issues.

Cheers
Adrian

Hi David,

PD is actually one of those programs where many people can start the software and with a few hours of playing around can figure out a lot of the features. My suggestion would be to start there and just experimenting. Upload a few of your pictures or video files and play around with the transitions and effects. A lot of the more advanced features you will learn to use as you become more familiar with the software. After some time getting familiar with the layout I would watch some of the tutorials which were mentioned earlier. One tutorial I would definitely watch would be the one on menu creation. There is always a lot of confusion about how to do this in PD. If you click on the search icon on the top of this page you can also search about this and other features. Q9300 2.5 GHz

When I first started using this package, I found that poking around in these forums and checking out the tutorial videos were the best way to understand how to do things. Like most manuals, PD is only basic.
