Session 1 Course Materials

This session covers:

  • Configuration Settings
  • Use of Interface
  • Fundamentals (ie. Importing Clips, moving stuff around)


  • Use of Tools for Timeline
  • Cutting Up Video (& adjusting speeds/durations)
  • Manipulating Sounds

    • Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation: Lesson 1.ppt

    The powerpoint is only useful as triggers for different functions of the software and shows the more detailed outline of the course for that session. It cannot be used as a guide or manual to the software, so try to pay attention to the demonstrations in class.

  • Video Clip: Sharky Raw

    • Note that the above video file should not be freely distributed and Sensorium Vale reserves all rights to the video. Audio Clips online are from Flashkit and labeled as freeware so can be used without explict permissions from their authors.

    In this Hands-on!, students are encouraged to try changing speeds of clips and looking at the effects of these changes (slower motion and lower pitch sounds or faster motion with more high pitch sounds). At the same time, they are to cut out the desired portions of the raw clip that contains several NGs, and a noisy background.
