MacroSystem Bogart 6.1 Linux Release Notes - Manual (Page 2)

-AVCHD clips may import out of order. It does not matter if the clips are selected to be imported as one
or as separate. For example a clip of 6 scenes may import to the scene bin as clips 3-6 followed by clips 1
and 2. This problem has come, gone, and returned in some betas. We are still monitoring it. It may
depend on the number and duration of clips, and if the clips were from the same day of a shoot. If this
occurs, please let our support dept. know and provide as many details as possible.
- For S3000 and S6000 models, audio recordings made from analog inputs could have minor distortion or
crackles to them, especially if the audio levels are too low. Try to raise the volume level of the source
footage if you can detect this. Overall, we recommend using an AV/DV convertor to go in DV or us a USB
Microphone (see dealer for approved models) if you plan to do a lot of analog recordings with these
models. The new Analog Audio Interface and Tascam device may also provide a solution for you this kind
of use.
-When recording in via DV on these systems, the video seen in the Recording menu will be a just
preview of the information. So it will not be the same as what you will see in the scene bin. It might
appear to be a lower quality and have a stutter while monitoring. The recorded clip to the scene bin
should be fine.
-There may be some other more minor issues that have been reported or being worked on that are not
listed here.
NOTES
- When you first install Bogart 6.1, the first menu that comes up will indicate that you can choose
between "Install, I have the activation code" or "Cancel". Don't worry; clicking on this "Install" button
will then take you to the usual options to do either a full installation or just an "Update" from the prior
Bogart version. Be patient after clicking once or selecting the Enter button. It does take a few seconds to
jump to the next Install menu.
-Like this Bogart 6.1 version, future operating system versions of Bogart SE will be larger than 1 GB in
size and need to be on DVD-R discs. You'll notice a little extra time needed during the install process.
Additionally, Bogart SE Models that have a front LED panel might show a little white circle with a line
through it when you are doing the installation.
-When outputting from the storyboard via firewire for an HDV project, be aware of your Project Settings
format. If you are using a "Progressive" format project, some cameras are not capable of capturing this
type of signal on an HDV input.
-It is important to match the "Format" button in the "Project Settings" menu with the format you are
using on the camera. This is especially important with the various types of HD formats that could be in
interlace/progressive. Having the wrong format (4:3 or 16:9) selected could affect transitions. You may
want to test a couple of clips out in the project and add transitions to them to make sure you have the
right setting. Additionally, if you use a different format setting, then there is additional scaling for your
video data that will be needed and this will slow down your import process.
