Bogart SE 2 user manual
storyboard and can be Removed at any time.
The button "Remove" offers the possibility to delete the first
and the last part of the background scene in front of or behind
the insert scene.
Overlapped background sequences are automatically put back
together.
Neighboured insert scenes can certainly be connected with a
transition effect.
(14) After you have added an insert and the scene is still
selected in the storyboard, you can use the "Range" button to
modify inserted scenes.
These scenes can either be shifted (Set the mode to "Posi-
tion”, and then click "Start”.) The Insert scene can also be
re-trimmed at the beginning or at the end (using the "IN/OUT"
buttons in Trim mode). The function “Trim E” allows you to see
the insert-scene while trimming.
For Insert scenes the user is brought to the usual Range menu.
Here also you can display and hide the audio wave form with
the loudspeaker symbols (section 3.2).
If you click on the "Range" button while no insert scene is
activated, you can reach every position of the activated scene
or of the entire storyboard. This function is helpful if you have
added a very long scene to the storyboard and want to view
its middle position. You can reach the desired position by the
help of the button "Position" or with the arrow buttons – the
slider to the right shows the current position in relation to the
complete storyboard. The position can also be changed by
clicking the play button; the stop button stops playback. If you
exit the "Range" menu by clicking on "Ok", the new position is
confirmed.
(15) Scenes are added to the storyboard from the scene bin.
The selected scene in the scene bin is added to the storyboard
by clicking the "Add" button.
The added scene always appears after the currently selected
scene in the storyboard.
There is one exception. When the very first scene is the cur-
rent scene in the storyboard, the user is asked by the system
whether the scene to add should be put In front or Behind the
first scene.
There also exists the possibility to cancel.
If you add the scene before the first scene then you will be
asked – if there is audio on a music track – whether the music
track should be shifted backward. Answering Yes causes all
audio tracks to be shifted (synchronized to the picture). No
causes the music tracks 1 and 2 (thus the sound tracks 3 and
4) to stay at their time position, and this causes them to slip
under another previous scene.
When the scene has been inserted, the original in the scene
bin can be deleted or trimmed without affecting the storyboard
scene.
(16) The function "Remove" deletes the scene located in the
center of the storyboard from the storyboard. An "Insert"
scene can also deleted, and this uncovers the background. If
you have already created audio and the scene to be deleted is
affected, then you will receive a warning message telling you
that an audio sample will be deleted. By removing a scene
from the Storyboard, this very scene will be highlighted in the
scene bin, allowing you to fast sort the Storyboard.
(17) Clicking on "Replace" causes the selected scene in the
center of the storyboard to be replaced by the active scene
in the scene bin. This can be a completely different scene, or
the same scene with different In and Out points. For example,
if you find that a scene is too long and needs shortening. If
the scene makes use of effects, remember that changing the
scene may result in a different effect length. If the new scene
is shorter than the previous one, it may also affect the audio
tracks beneath.
(18) The "Search" button makes it possible to find the same
scene in the scene bin that is currently selected in the story-
board (assuming it has not been deleted or renamed). After
clicking on "Search" the scene in the scene bin is activated
and can, for example, be trimmed or split. Finally, the scene in
the storyboard can be replaced with the newly trimmed scene.
If you have deleted the scene from the scene bin, then after
you click on "Search" the message "The scene was not found.
Should it be re-created?" appears. If you then click on "Yes"
and the scene will again appear in the scene bin. This function
can be activated at any time, even after restart, after which a
deleted scene cannot normally be re-created.
Note: Searching for scenes in the Storyboard can be a lot
easier with the (in some cases optional) Power Key keyboard
and software.
(19) "New" creates a scene whose duration ("Length") can
be set up to 1 minute and whose contents can be set from a
selection list.
This is very interesting for leaders and trailers (black video), but
also for certain crossfade effects. The length of the scene can
be set using the slider (max. of 1 minute). Alternatively, enter
the length directly.
Clicking on the button "New" causes a list of various options
to appear. The list is already split. The top part shows already
used effects. This is the favourites list, with the 10 last effects
used, making it easier to find them. Below the line, you can see
the regular effect list. The following new scenes are available
in the standard version: a) Countdown b) Color bars c) Color d)
Ksebara e) Pattern f) Black
Further effects are available on additional CDs/DVDs that you
can obtain either as full or demo versions from your dealer.
You can select a new scene simply by clicking on it or by acti-
vating the slider control.
a) Countdown
This function creates a countdown effect. For each second,
it shows a number counting backwards. You can change the
