function to choose one or more groups by placing a tick next
to the groups . Press OK to show only the scenes that have
been assigned to those groups . The remaining scenes are not
deleted, merely “hidden” .
If you wish to delete the group name of a sound recording
(un-assign), select the “---” name from the group list . If you
wish to see all sound recordings, even those not assigned to
any group, open the group selection once more and confirm
by pressing “All” . You will now once again see all of your clips
in the scene bin . If not all of them are listed, you should look at
the top edge of the menu . To the right, you will the information
“Filter active” . Make sure to check for this if you feel that some
clips are “missing” .
You can even improve the organization of the bin more by hid-
ing any clips that you already added to the storyboard . Go to
the options menu “Opt” . If the checkbox next to “Show added
scenes” is ticked, any added scenes (all scenes marked with
a small white dot above the stamp) will be shown in the scene
bin . An unticked box means that the function is deactivated
and that already added scenes are not shown in the scene bin .
Of course, “hiding” scenes in this fashion does not mean that
they are deleted, but merely not shown .
(20) Click on one of the menu symbols to access the menus
Edit, Audio-Mix and the main menu directly from this menu .
4.13 Audio-Mix
Use this function to arrange recorded commentaries and the
background sound in the storyboard, add audio effects, and
fine-tune the volume for the sound tracks .
4.13.1 Premixing audio
The audio premixing is a possible alternative to properly edit
the sound .
In the audio premix, you can, if the storyboard contains at least
one scene, insert a sound sample in the audio mix, and then
continue to build the rest of the storyboard in a way that fits
your sample .
If the Storyboard contains at least one scene, you can, for
example, insert a song below it . The song will automatically be
shortened to make it fit the scene . You should set he track you
use for this to “free” in the audio settings menu, in case you
happen to have chosen a linked track . Pre-mixing is only pos-
sible for free sound tracks .
In the audio-mix, you will now see the storyboard scene and
the sound sample which has automatically been shortened
at the end in the sound track that you have selected previ-
ously . When scenes are added to the storyboard, your sound
sample will automatically lengthen with the storyboard . This
should now appear in the right list (“Selected samples”) . This
way, you can continue adding sounds to your CD . Any sam-
ples selected from the left list are highlighted with a little dot .
Take care not to overstep the maximum length of 80 minutes
(72 minutes until Bogart 3) for the CD . The “Estimated usage”
of the CD can be monitored on top of the screen . Of course,
you can remove any tracks from the list again by simply click-
ing on “Remove” . Once you have finished assembling the list
of tracks for your CD, click on “OK” and insert an empty CD
into the disc tray . If the medium is a CD-RW that already con-
tains some data, the system can optionally delete the contents
first, before the tracks are burned . Please wait with removing
the CD until the system tells you the CD was burned success-
fully .
(18) When you have imported your sound recordings and your
samples, you will find them in the audio bin . This list of avail-
able sound recordings can be modified to suit your needs .
Below the list, you will find the option to determine how the list
should be sorted . You may choose between:
original: This lists the sound recordings in the order in which
they have been acquired by the system through recording and
importing .
By name: The sound recording list can now be sorted alpha-
betically in ascending order .
By length: The sound recordings are sorted by length in as-
cending order .
(19) Opt: Group
You can assign a group to any sound recording . This will
make the list more clear and better structured . For example,
you could then only show the scenes of a particular group .
Activate the sound recording you want . Click on “Opt” to open
the group options and select “Assign group name” to assign a
group to a sample .
If a sound recording has been assigned a group, you will find
the group name in the bottom-left field of the menu, between
the display of the name of the recording and the counter .
Once you have a large number of group names, it may be ben-
eficial to reorder the groups that are being shown . This way,
you could create archives in which only specific group names
are visible . This way you can limit the choice of groups .
This way you have also made it possible to select scenes in
the group selection . With the Stock button, all the existing
group names of the project will be listed .
When you work with groups, you have several possibilities
to select scenes in the bin . If you wish to show only sound
recordings of a particular group or even several groups, press
“Opt” and then “Group selection” . This next list contains all
available groups for this project . Use the multiple selection
