Bogart SE 2 user manual

(2) The display, "Used Capacity" gives information on the

space used on the hard drive (in dark), and on the total remain-

ing time (in light). A display for individual projects is not pos-

sible because this display refers to the entire hard drive.

(3) Clicking on the "Select" button brings up the Select Project

menu, in which you can select several different projects.

If some projects already contain scenes, the corresponding

projects are marked to the right of the project name (with a

little dot).

After you press "OK", the project you have selected is dis-

played next to the selection button (e.g. "P 1"). If you want to

rename the project, click on "P 1" (or "P 2", etc.). The on-

screen keyboard appears so that you can enter another project

name. The chosen project name is also displayed in the edit

screen above the scene bin.

Only the currently active project can be edited! Exchanging

video data between different projects is possible using the

Clipboard feature in the Edit screen. You always have access

to archived titles and colors.

(4) Under "Image size" you have the choice among Small,

Normal, Large and Complete. This setting applies only when

effects are applied.

We recommend using the default setting Normal with CRT

monitors. This will usually prevent black margins or wrong

border information from appearing when using effects. For use

with a Plasma or LCD panel, beamers and PC monitors, make

sure to use `Complete´.The image size can be changed at any-

time in the current project. It takes effect only when applying

effects and titles.

For technically interested users: A video signal conforming to

the studio standard CCIR 601 enables the use of 720 samples

and 576 picture lines. The real resolution is even higher, but

a video picture requires certain portions for synchronization

signals, videotext, timecodes, etc. The resolution of 720 x 576

pixels is the maximum allowed area for real video information.

But many video sources do not make use of this resolution.

This is true for camcorders, laserdiscs, and even for studio de-

vices. A much smaller portion is often used in the assumption

that most televisions will not be able to render the entire signal.

(5) The `Format´ button provides different settings. In addition

to the normal `4:3´ formats, the system also offers a `16:9 An-

amorphic´ mode. The option means the 16:9 mode anamorphic

and contains 576 picture lines.

Note: The 16:9 format is not available for NTSC machines.

Further, note the formats "4:3 Progressive" and "16:9 Progres-

sive". Cameras which support the "Progressive" function only

work with 25 frames (NTSC: 30) instead of 50 ﬁelds (NTSC: 60)

per second. If you activate one of the Progressive formats, a

warning is displayed saying that you should only use this set-

ting in combination with a Progressive Scan camera. Other-

wise you could limit the effect use.

If you have chosen a progressive format for your project, the

system will edit with a progressive (full frame) display.

Once you activate `HD video editing´, you will also be able to

select the `HDV´ format, which you can use for new projects.

This format is only usefull for HDV and AVCHD video footage

recorded with such a camcorder.

If you choose to work on an HDV project, once you have

started editing, it is not possible to revert back to another

format for that project.

If you decide to work on a 4:3 or 16:9 project, once started, it

is not possible to select a the HDV format any longer.

(6) The ﬁeld "Audio settings" refers to the menu “Mix” and

consists of two parts:

In the upper area you can specify whether the “Transitions” for

the inserted transition effects should be “constant” or “lowered”.

A continuous (linear) audio fade means that the audio of both

scenes is faded in and out without reducing the volume. This

function should be used, for example, when both scenes have

similar volume.

A lowered (logarithmic) audio fade means that for monotone

background audio in both scenes (e.g. sea shore, trafﬁc) the

impression is that the ﬁrst scene audio is quietly faded out

before the second scene audio is faded in with increasing

volume.

A continuous fade can sometimes have the disadvantage that

between different soundtracks “acoustic confusion” can arise.

Depending on the audio of the scenes in question, it will be ad-

vantageous to use either the constant or the lowered method.

Note: If you have selected the audio fade after the fact, transi-

tions will not automatically be newly calculated. But you can

change each individual transition afterward in the menu `Mix´.

There you activate the left scene and the corresponding sound

clip. Click on the button `Fade´ and in the window then displayed

under `Transition´ set the desired option (`constant´ or `lowered´).

In the lower area of the window you can specify the behavior

of the scene soundtracks. If you set the button `Audio tracks´

to `normal´, then the buttons positioned below are disabled.

In the locked ﬁelds you can see whether the corresponding

soundtracks are free or ﬁxed to the scene. If you select the

option `Selection´ under `Audio tracks´, then the original audio

is ﬁxed to the scene and the behavior of the other soundtracks

can be set at will.

Note: Some systems automatically select the best audio sam-

pling frequency (48 KHz). If your system does not support this,

there is a manual audio selection within the "Audio settings",

called "Audio quality". Use it to avoid compatibility issues with

connected DV equipment.

(7) Clicking on "Delete" (in the Project area) opens a window

which offers the possibility to determine which areas of the

selected project can be deleted.
