Bogart SE 2 user manual
System Settings screen.
There you can bring up information on the products selected in
the list (e.g. effect modules, font packages, etc.). You will also
find information and summary instructions for products that
are only installed as demo versions, if available.
The info button of the edit menu is available both in the "Story-
board" part (displays information about the storyboard) as well
as in the "Scene Bin" (displays information about the activated
scene).
Archive function
You will see the "Archive" button in various menus and
screens (e.g. titling, color box).
Clicking on this button opens a screen in which there are four
buttons: "Load", "Save", "Delete", and "Cancel".
Clicking on "Load" displays a list of the titles, effects, or set-
tings that have previously been saved. You can then directly
select or scroll to an entry in this list and confirm.
A click on "Save" displays the same list. There are now two
possible courses of action:
1. You can click on the rectangle directly below the list so that
the keyboard is called up and you can type in a name, after
which you click on "Ok" in the keyboard and in the text archive
field. This creates a new archive entry.
2. You can select an entry from the list and then click on the
rectangle in which the name of the selected entry is now visi-
ble. Now you can use the keyboard field to overwrite this name
with another name of your choice. This differs from the first
option in that here you not only change the name, but you also
overwrite the entry itself, so that the original entry is perma-
nently deleted.
If you click on "Delete", a list of the saved entries is displayed
in which you can select an entry to delete and confirm with
"Ok".
Clicking on "Cancel" exits the window without making any
changes.
With the help of archiving you can save frequently used stan-
dard text and reuse the text at any time in any of the projects.
Image Pool
An additional function is the Image Pool. This is a ‘global’ area
for storing graphics and masks; this means that the images/
masks can also be exchanged between different program pa-
ckages and projects or saved directly from your footage.
The main program and almost all supplemental programs use
the Image Pool. In this way, graphics brought into the system
by one program can automatically be used by all other pro-
grams.
The Image Pool is used in many areas of the system, e.g.
titling, when creating new scenes, in the edit screen or in con-
junction with DVD-Arabesk.
If you select the scene "Pattern" in the menu "New", the option
"Select Pattern" appears to the right. You can click on that to
open the Select pattern screen which offers you a number of
patterns to choose from.
In the area to the above-left you see the selection button
"Product" offering you a list of the main program "Bogart SE",
"DVD Arabesk" (if it is installed), different additional programs
and the option „Custom Images“.
The next selection button "Type" offers you up to four different
types of graphics:
Masks are used principally by programs such as Liquid
Images and Ultimate Spice Box.
The masks are gray pictures whose form is used by the pro-
grams to specify the course of effects. But the masks can also
be used for other purposes. For example, they can be colored
and used to achieve variety in backgrounds for titling.
Monochrome (gray) patterns (also called "textures") are
listed here. These can be colored and used as background
elsewhere. Because the patterns are usually smaller than the
screen, they are automatically tiled on the screen, until the
desired surface is completely covered.
Color shows multi-colored patterns, that are used in the same
way as the monochrome patterns. No further coloring is possi-
ble as the patterns already contain color.
Pictures can be found in this category, (e.g. you see here the
maps of the program „Columbus“ (if it is installed) or the back-
ground pictures for DVD Arabesk). Although they are intended
to be used as background for DVD titles, the pictures can also
be used elsewhere in the system. You'll find "Bogart SE" under
“Product“. From here, you can also find logos of the single sy-
stems as well as the MacroSystem logo. These can be used as
background pictures when creating your own text panel in the
titling screen and are therefore very useful for credits. In additi-
on, you will find many pictures provided here (e.g. stars) – they
have many uses particularly when creating titles.
In the bottom left corner of the image pool you will see the
i-button described earlier. This button allows you to access
information on the currently selected "Product”.
