For you movie folks we can call it your "cutting room floor." To put your video in the storyboard, drag it from your library to the storyboard. Click the plus sign on your timeline so you can see video and audio lines. If you want to add extra audio to your piece, import it the same way you did your video.

Step3: Play your AVI video and watch for where you want to cut and delete the extraneous video. Place your timeline cursor (the blue line that crosses perpendicular to the timeline) where you want to cut your video and split it by choosing "Edit split." Split your original video as many times as you want. Once you split the video you see the rest of the original video in your library. Delete the video you don't want by pressing "Delete" on your keyboard.

Step4: Add video by dragging it to the storyboard. Make sure your cursor is where you want it on the timeline because the program will automatically place your audio track where your cursor is. You will notice your audio track goes into the audio space on your timeline. To edit audio follow the same steps as the video.
