You can select the default resolution of 1080p Full HD @ 60 fps. Once you’ve selected it, click OK. If your video has other dimensions, don’t worry - the right dimensions can be applied automatically once the video is added. ..
Once you have imported your video, the media tab at the bottom of the editor will show you all of the videos that have been imported. You can drag and drop any of these videos into a position on the timeline, or use the arrow keys to move them around.
