51 Bogart SE 4 User manual
a fade is popular, for example, with edited interviews, where a
hard cut or other transition emphasizes the participant’s move-
ment . The usual color box is used here to set the “Color” . For
this effect black or white is the usual choice . Recommended
duration: 0 .5 to 2 seconds .
8. Field changer: The scenes in this effect are alternated in
half images with each other so that a strobing effect ensues
keeping both scenes in movement . This effect can be used for
creating 3D PAL videos, if you have suitable footage .
9. Circle wipe: This effect changes from one scene to another
with a circle containing a scene and which becomes steadily
larger or smaller . The direction can be chosen with “Mode” .
“In” means that the second scene overlays the first scene
with a circle that begins in the center of the screen and grows
outward until only the second scene is visible . With “Out” the
first scene is in a circle covering the screen but which then
becomes steadily smaller until it disappears, having been
replaced by the second scene . The well-known end to cartoon
films can be replicated by using the “Black” effect from the
“New scene” list and the mode “Out” . Recommended dura-
tion: 0 .5 to 2 seconds .
10. Pattern fade: This effect fades the second scene by using
the pattern you have selected from the Image Pool . You can
choose between “Wipe” and “Split Screen” to achieve the
effect you want . In addition, select the color for the border:
“None”(no border), “Soft” or “Color” .
11. Place holder:
This is not a real, proper effect . This effect is used after a
restore, when the project contains effects that have not yet
been installed on the system that is being used . This can occur
after a new installation or when transferring a project to a dif-
ferent system . The effects that are not available are not simply
ignored, instead they are replaced by the exclamation mark .
This reserve the space (if it is not replaced or erased) until the
project is stored and used on the original device again, or until
the extension software has been installed .
This placeholder is also used with Store ‘n’ Share when a
project on an external hard disk is being used on a different
device . As long as only the placeholder is being shown, the ef-
fect will not change the scene when it is calculated . The effect
settings field at the right contains a warning that this is not a
proper effect .
12. Rectangle wipe: This effect changes from one scene to an-
other with a rectangle containing a scene and which becomes
steadily larger or smaller . Below “Position” you can set the
“Location” and “Size” of a rectangle where the sides increase
or decrease in proportion to each other . A grid can also be
activated, to make it easier to set the position of a scene .
Positioning by means of a raster is especially useful when a
multi-layer effect has to be created, taking into account other
existing transitions .
The direction can be chosen with “Mode” . “In” means that the
second scene overlays the first scene with a rectangle that
begins in the center of the screen and grows outward until only
the second scene is visible . If you chose “Out”, the first scene
will shrink until it reaches the rectangle size you have defined .
Once this is achieved, the screen is completely filled with the
second scene, which was seen before in the background of
the rectangle .
13. Scale: Under “Position” you can set the “Location” and
“Size” of a rectangle where the sides always increase or
decrease in proportion to each other . If you choose the option
“Grow” under “Type”, the second scene is zoomed into the
first scene . The scene is scaled to fit proportionately into the
rectangle and increases or decreases in size according to the
sides of the rectangle . If you choose the option “Shrink” the
opposite occurs . The first scene is in the rectangle covering
the screen and gradually becomes smaller until it disappears,
having been replaced by the second scene .
14. Stripe fade: This effect changes from one scene to another
by dividing the first scene into stripes which are then faded
out while the second scene can already be seen in the back-
ground . You can specify the number of “Stripes” from 2-32 .
Under “Mode” you can specify the direction of the stripes (you
have the choice between “Horizontal” and “Vertical”) .
15. Gate: With this effect you can call up the color box with the
button “Color” in order to specify which color the gate should
have . The gate closes from opposite sides of the screen over
the first scene . Under “Direction” you specify whether the
opposite sides are top and bottom, or left and right . After the
bars have met at screen center, they reverse direction, moving
out of the picture and revealing the second scene .
16. Crossfade: This effect is the classical fade . Next to the
hard cut, this is certainly the most frequently used type of
scene transition . The first scene is transformed gradually
into the second, whereby with increasing time the first scene
becomes less and less visible and the second more and more .
As with all transition effects both scenes remain in move-
ment . Simply freezing a scene is not attractive and is no longer
supported by Bogart SE . Recommended duration: 0 .5 to 3
seconds .
17. Random lines: This effect transforms the first scene to the
second by continuously covering the first scene with randomly
positioned lines from the second scene .
