4 Using an USB-Mouse
Bogart 6 is optimized now also for the use with an
USB-Mouse alternative to the Trackball.
Since there are several computer mice and touchpads availa-
ble, we only can give a general overview about the functiona-
lity of the different buttons. Pleae refer to the manual of your
mouse regarding any the programming of keys. If your mouse
has more than 2 buttons you probably can use all functions
described in the Bogart user manual including the ones dedi-
cated to the small trackball buttons.
(1) The left button (selection button) is used for selecting. You
press a button on the screen by positioning the cursor over the
on-screen button and pressing (clicking) this button.
(2) The right button (cancel button) returns you to the previous
state, canceling or stopping the current operation. Pressing
this button without having selected anything will return you
to the previous screen. Pressing the cancel button when you
are making settings cancels anything you have just set and
reinstates the prior settings. If you are playing or recording
video, then clicking the cancel button will cause playback or
recording to stop.
(3) The scrollwheel is used to scroll through lists. You can do
that by positioning the curser within the particular list or the
Storyboard.
(4) Move the mouse to position the screen cursor or, in the
Trim and Split screens, to scroll through the video. This is also
used to change the settings of sliders (scroll bars).
Note: When using the mouse or touchpad, sliders will show a
special symbol with a double arrow. Clicking on it, the symbol
will change into a „rocker“ which allows you to vary the move-
ment in acceleration and direction on the associated controller.
So you do not need to make any long movements with your
mouse.
The differnce between the behavior of a Trackball and a
Mouse (exemplary when using a selection button)
Selection buttons are indicated with three small, white horizon-
tal bars in the upper right corner.
Clicking with the left trackball button opens a list of different
options. When using a mouse, click and hold the left mouse
button to open the list.
You can scroll among the options with the trackball (by rolling
the ball up and down). The currently active field will be high-
lighted. Clicking on the left trackball button then activates
the selected option. When using the mouse you only have to
3 Working with NTSC projects
Basically there are two television standards: PAL and NTSC.
PAL uses a refresh rate of 50 Hz and NTSC a rate of 60 Hz.
With Bogart 6 you now can create a new project either in PAL
or NTSC.
Note: Mixing PAL and NTSC footage is not advisable. Due to
the different frame rates, this video would always have in some
places a bucking.
To set up a project for PAL or NTSC, choose the menu „Pro-
ject“ and click the button „Format“. Now you can setup your
project corresponding to the footage you would like to import.
You can choose between a HD-project (HD=High Definition)
with the resolution 1920x1080, 1440x1080 and 1280x720
or a SD project (SD=Standard Definition) with the resolution
720*576 (PAL) or 720*480 (NTSC).
When choosing an SD project you additionally can switch the
ratio between 4:3 and 16:9. HD projects only allow the ratio
16:9. With our add-on software „Cinemascope“ installed, you
can also switch the ratio to 21:9.
Note: Setting up the Format is only possible if you create a
new project or if you choose an empty project.
