How to Use GOE Video MX Std — Quick Start Guide

1. Install and launch

1. Download the installer from your vendor portal or provided link.
2. Run the installer and follow prompts (accept license, choose install path).
3. Launch GOE Video MX Std and sign in with your account.

2. Set up a new project

1. Create project: File → New Project; name it and choose project settings (resolution, frame rate).
2. Import media: Media → Import or drag-and-drop video, audio, and image files into the Media Bin.

3. Build the timeline

1. Create sequence: Right-click a clip → New Sequence from Clip (matches clip settings) or File → New → Sequence to set custom settings.
2. Add clips: Drag clips from Media Bin to the timeline. Trim by dragging edges; split with the Razor tool.
3. Arrange tracks: Use multiple video/audio tracks for overlays, B-roll, music, and effects.

4. Basic editing tools

• Trim/Slip/Slide: Use trim handles or dedicated tools to refine in/out points.
• Cut/Split: Razor or Split command to divide clips.
• Ripple Delete: Removes a clip and closes the gap.
• Snap: Toggle snapping to align clips precisely.

5. Transitions and effects

1. Add transitions: Open Transitions panel and drag a transition between two clips; adjust duration.
2. Apply effects: Open Effects panel, drag an effect onto a clip, then modify parameters in the Effect Controls.
3. Keyframing: Set keyframes in Effect Controls to animate properties (opacity, position, scale).

6. Color and audio

• Color correction: Use the Color panel or Lumetri (if available): White balance, exposure, contrast, and LUTs.
• Audio mixing: Use the Audio Mixer to adjust track levels, add EQ, compression, and normalize clips. Mute or solo tracks as needed.
• Voiceover: Record directly to a new audio track or import recorded narration.

7. Titles and graphics

1. Add titles: Insert → Title or use the Graphics panel; choose presets or create custom text.
2. Lower thirds and logos: Place on higher video tracks; use opacity and position controls.

8. Export settings

1. Export: File → Export → Media.
2. Format/preset: Choose format (e.g., H.264) and preset (e.g., YouTube 1080p).
3. Adjust settings: Set bitrate, resolution, frame rate, and audio codec. Enable hardware encoding if available.
4. Queue vs Export: Use Queue to send to a render farm/encoder, or Export to render locally.

9. Shortcuts and workflow tips

• Common shortcuts: J/K/L for playback, C for Razor, V for Selection, Ctrl/Cmd+Z undo.
• Proxy workflow: Use lower-resolution proxies for smoother editing with high-resolution footage.
• Autosave: Ensure autosave is enabled and set save intervals.
• Organize assets: Use bins, consistent naming, and color labels.

10. Troubleshooting quick fixes

• Playback lag: Enable proxies, lower playback resolution, or clear cache.
• Export failures: Check disk space, update codecs/drivers, and try different export format.
• Missing media: Relink files via the Media Bin.

Example quick checklist (for a single short video)

1. Create project → set 1080p/30fps.
2. Import clips → create sequence.
3. Rough cut on timeline → trim and arrange.

5. Mix audio and add background music.
