39 Bogart SE 4 User manual
Slow motion “Slow motion” creates a scene that is a copy
of the original but which runs more slowly . You can specify
the delay factor with a slider . The higher the delay factor, the
slower the scene . A value of 2 (the smallest possible value)
creates a scene that runs at only half the speed of the original .
If the original scene was, for example, 4 seconds long, then
the scene in slow motion is 8 seconds long . To calculate the
length of the new scene, the scene length must be multiplied
with the delay factor . The finished scene with the extension
“ZL”, can be trimmed like any other scene and placed in the
storyboard . Effects can also be applied if needed . Bogart SE
plays the scene more slowly than the normal 50 images per
second . Movement can be jumpy . The extreme slow motion
known from sports transmissions is only possible with the use
of expensive special cameras that can film at a much higher
frame rate per second . A preview of this effect is not possible .
If you click on the “Preview” button, a red, crossed-out circle
appears indicating that preview is not possible .
Quick motion “Quick motion” works principally the same way
as slow motion, but creates a new scene that runs faster than
the original . Here you can specify a speed-up factor between
2 and 50 . Uneven values are recommended in order to obtain
full resolution. The new scene has the suffix “ZR”. You calcu-
late the length by dividing the time of the original scene by the
specified speedup factor . Here, too, a preview of this effect
is not possible . If you click on the “Preview” button a white,
crossed-out circle appears indicating that preview is not pos-
sible .
Clipboard (only available if you are using an activated Pro
Pack)
This is a function for temporary storage . This clipboard is also
accessible directly from the edit menu, via a dedicated clip-
board button .
Select ‘Clipboard’ to access a selection menu . You can add
scenes from the current project to the list or choose an item
from the list to be added to the current storyboard . The top
part of the menu shows a list of all scenes in the Clipboard .
When you first use this function, the list will be empty .
These are the available functions:
Add current scene: The currently selected scene (in the scene
bin) will be added to the clipboard .
Add other scene: You can add any other scene from the scene
bin of the current project .
Add scene from different project: You can add any scene from
one of your projects . To do this, first select the right project
and then choose from the scene bin of this project .
Remove scene(s): This option is only available if you activate at
least one scene in the list . All marked scenes will be deleted .
Import scene(s): This option is only available if you activate at
least one scene in the list . All marked (tagged) scenes will be
imported into the current project .
Options: You can choose if trimmed parts of a scene are cop-
ied as well . You can also choose to import scenes with a dif-
ferent format, if required . You will then see the inserted scenes
in the scene bin . The scenes might have new numbers if the
scene or scene name are already present in the scene bin .
Click on the function “Remove scene” in the clipboard . This
will open the “Remove scene from the clipboard” window in
which you can select the scene you want to delete from the
clipboard . Using checkmarks, it is possible to select more than
one scene . You must then click on OK to delete the scenes .
Note: If you click on “Remove scene”, you will see that the
window that pops up has a ghosted (grayed out) OK button
that is not selectable. This is a security function to prevent the
accidental deletion of a scene. However, if you really want to
delete a scene, you should then click on the scene you want
to delete (even when it is already displayed with a gray back-
ground) and then on the now activated OK button.
The function “Scene with project choice --> Clipboard” is
meant to allow quick access to scenes from other projects,
without having to first open the project settings .
Clicking on the button “Scene with project choice --> Clip-
board” opens the “Select project” window in which you can
select one of your projects from which you want to export a
scene . After you have marked a project and clicked on OK,
the scene bin of this project will open from which you will now
be able to select the desired scene . After confirming with OK,
the scene will be in the clipboard . Now you can click on the
“Clipboard --> Project” button . This will open the window in
which you can select the scene just exported . After confirming
with OK, the scene will be imported into the scene bin of your
current project .
