I m having a bit of a problem. I don t quite know how to load the sequencer into my VFX-SD. I ve downloaded it and unzipped it, but where do I go from there?

I am very familiar with the sequencer, I have been using it for years but I never used the mixdown function, I always did all my pans and fades the hard way.
