Collections:
You can add your
own photos, video and effects into the Media Library. Any digital picture,
digital video or digitized sound effect can be imported
into the User Collections.
Picture In Picture: You can import a completed stage as a
Windows Media File and use it for a picture in picture effect. Special thanks to Don Arbuckle with the Portland Airport who has provided the following Stages for demonstration. Don has used some of the advanced features in StageIT
to show how you can cutout a piece of the photo and layer it back in
to put the smoke and fire behind an object. We have used
the PIP effect in StageIT by importing one of his completed stages
and compositing this opposing view into a new stage for
demonstration.

To import media:
1.
On
the Media Library toolbar, click the
arrow next to the Import icon and
select the type of media to import.
2.
Navigate to the location of the file, select it, and click
Open.
You can import pictures of any
size into StageIT, but for ease of use in sizing animations,
speeding up rendering of a simulation, and matching with video clips,
we recommend that imported pictures be 800 x 600. You can
capture DV video using Windows Movie Maker if you have a
Firewire card in your computer. You can save it as a WMV
or AVI
file and import it into your video User Collections. Or
you can publish and import the completed stage as a Windows
Media Video file as is shown in the window above.
3.
If
you want to import more than a single file, StageIT provides an
import “files from folders” function that imports all the
useable information (videos, graphics and sounds) into the user
collection while maintaining and representing the imported files
within the original folder structure found in the Windows file
system.
4.
To
import an entire file folder, on the Media Library toolbar, click the arrow next to the Import
icon and select Files From Folders from the drop down
list. Navigate to the folder and select it. The imported file or
folder will appear in the User Collections.
5.
You can also import into User Collections area by
right-clicking on a folder and selecting the type of media
to import.
