Using Story Creator to Create Video Stories
Story Creator is a helpful function that offers suggestions for typical scenes in a number of situations.
With Story Creator, creating a video story with a structured yet interested storyline is as easy as
selecting one of the story themes, such as [Travel], [Kids & Pets] or [Blog], and following the suggested
categories to record video. You can even select [Unrestricted] to group recordings as a single story
without following the other storylines. During playback, select your story from the gallery to play back
the scenes you recorded as a single, compelling video story (
0 114).
