2. Save the picture to a file (this allows you to save the picture for
future use) – place your cursor over the picture you want to save, right
click and select “Save Picture As..” A window will appear allowing
you to choose a place to save your image – normally you will want to
save it to “My Documents” or to “3 ½ Floppy A” (floppy diskette) –
make sure you enter a file name and click SAVE.
How to Insert a Graphic from a file onto your timeline:
• Open your timeline and click the “Graphic button
• Select “Browse” and when that window opens select the location
where you saved your file from the drop-down menu
• Double click on the file name and it will appear on your timeline
• ‘Click and drag’ to change the
location, size, etc. of the image.
