MacroSystem Bogart SE Ver.4 User manual - Manual (Page 36)

36 Chapter 4
For insert scenes, the user is taken to the usual Range menu .
Here also you can display and hide the audio wave form with
the loudspeaker symbols (section 3 .2 “Envelope and audio
scrubbing”) .
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 the play back .
If you exit the “Range” menu by clicking on “OK”, the new
position is confirmed and you will be taken to this Storyboard
position .
Use the button with a camera icon, to transfer the current
scene image to the picture archive of the Media Manager . Im-
ages that have been exported this way, can then be accessed
from the Media Manager picture archive . The images will be
put in a “Bogart SE” folder in the archive . The name of the im-
age is created on the basis of the project name and the image
position .
Note: Exporting an image from a scene is also possible by
means of the Opt button in the editing screen.
(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 . It is also possible 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 free
music tracks (by default sound tracks 3 and 4) to stay at their
time position, and this causes them to slip under another pre-
vious 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 . An “Insert” scene can also deleted,
and this covers the background . If you have already created
audio and this affects the scene that is to be deleted, you will
receive a warning message . When a scene is removed from
the storyboard, this scene will automatically be activated in
the scene bin . This will enable a fast re-sort of the storyboard,
since the scene that has just been removed must not be
searched for to keep it ready for re-insertion .
(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 below . You will get a text message to this effect before-
hand .
Note: Trimming scenes in the Storyboard can be a lot easier
with the optional Power Key keyboard and software.
(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 . Finally, the scene in the sto-
ryboard 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 restored?” will be displayed . 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 optional Power Key keyboard and software.
(19) “New” creates a scene whose duration (“Length”) can be
freely set and various content that is available to you from a
selection list . This is very interesting for leaders and trailers
(black video), but also for certain transition 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, above the dividing line, shows al-
ready used effects . This is the favorites list . It contains the last
10 used effects . You can use this list for faster access to these
effects . 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 .
