Bogart SE 4 User manual
With an Insert-edit, the selected scene in the scene bin is over-
laid onto the Storyboard. Only the video is overlaid, not the
audio of the scene. Clicking on “Insert” overlays the selected
scene in the Storyboard with the selected scene from the
scene bin. The scene in the Storyboard (background) is then
partially or completely covered with the insert scene (fore-
ground). The background scene must, of course, be longer
than the foreground scene.
The range (start position, length) can be set freely and changed
at any time, even after the Insert is placed. Every click on “In-
sert” leads automatically to a Range menu. The starting point,
which is by default set to the first frame of the insert, can be
moved towards the end (“Start” button). To do this, you have
to select “Position”. Now you can see the background scene.
To trim the insert-scene either from the front or from behind,
switch the selection button to “Trim” so that you can see the
“IN” and “OUT” buttons. During this setting, you can see the
background scene. Set the selection button to “Trim E” so that
you can see the insert-scene instead.
The “Trimming small” mode is used to show both foreground
and background scene in smaller versions. When trimming an
Insert scene, you’ll see the “Foreground IN” and “Foreground
OUT” screens. Above, you’ll see two smaller screens depicting
the scene frame just prior (“Backgr.IN-1”) and after (“Backgr.
OUT+”) the insert. In this fashion, you have all the information
about the insert length and the position on top of the base
scene.
Using the “Position, small” mode, you will see the same layout
of the menu, however, in this case you are moving the insert
scene on top of the background scene. The preview for “Start”
and “End” shows you the position of the background scene,
where the insert begins and ends. The smaller scene images
above show you the “IN” and “OUT” frames of the insert itself.
Press play in the Insert menu to monitor how your insert has
been added. Click the Play button to play your insert. The Sto-
ryboard is played from 2 seconds before to 2 seconds after the
Insert. While this is being played, the original audio track of the
Storyboard scene is also played. This gives you good control
over the position of the Insert. To the right of the play button,
there is a special play button. When you click on this play but-
ton, a split screen will be displayed.
The left image shows the background scene and the right im-
age the Insert scene. Since the combined play back begins a
little before the Insert scene and stops only after it, you will see
the storyboard scene in both fields at this time. Play back can
be paused, restarted and stopped at any time. When you exit
the Insert positioning and return to the Edit or Main menu, your
settings will be saved. The so-called “background scene”, in
other words the Storyboard, can be split in three parts:
1. The background scene before the insert
2. The Insert part
3. The rest of the background scene after the insert
This division allows you to place any number of insert se-
quences onto a single background scene. It is also not neces-
sary to manually split the long recording of the singer, since
this is done automatically. Inserts are indicated in the story-
board by a symbol (two overlapping rectangles) in the upper
part of the scene in the storyboard and can be removed at any
time. Divided background sequences are automatically put
back together. 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. Transition effects can also
be used. The operation is hardly different from the usual pro-
cess. One difference is that the length of the Storyboard does
not change. This is important, since the unchanged sound
would otherwise no longer exist. Instead of a hard fade-in of
the insert scene, it will -depending on the effect- be faded-in
smoothly. Therefore, the transition is entirely at the expense of
the insert scene. In the Insert menu, the audio envelope can be
faded in and out, using the speaker symbol. You can find more
details in Chapter 3.2.
Neighboring insert scenes can also be connected with transi-
tion effects. For this to be possible, the system must push the
next insert scene forward for the duration of the transition.
(14) After you have added an insert and if the scene is still
selected in the Storyboard, you can use the “Range” button
to modify inserted scenes. These scenes can either be moved
(Set the mode to “Position”, 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.
