77 Bogart SE 4 User manual
Alternatively, you can select any time range for creating the
new sample . A sample is created, containing all sound from
all sound tracks . Click onto ‘Range’, confirm with “OK” and
select the IN and OUT points from the already familiar Range
menu . The Envelope helps you to do this . You can (de)activate
it using the speaker symbol . Click on “OK” in the Range menu .
This creates the sample and adds it just after the currently
activated/marked sample in the Record/Edit menu .
(17) Direct volume control
Use the Volume button to adjust the volume of the active video
scene . You can reduce the volume of the scene (negative dB
value), mute it (slider fully to the left), or increase the volume
(positive values up to 30 dB) . Use this control for example to
prevent a soft sound from being drowned by another sound
which is too loud (e .g . piece of music on the background
track) .
A change in volume is shown in the light-blue bar which forms
the background to the audio samples . If the volume is re-
duced, the bar at the lower edge of the audio sample is also
displaced . The longer the audio sample, the more clearly of
course the characteristic is displayed .
(18) Indirect volume control
To emphasize a particular audio sample by reducing the
volume of adjacent tracks, use the Correction function . Click
on the sample to be emphasized, which is then highlighted in
blue .
The Correction button modifies the volume of an audio sample
for the complete duration of another audio sample . The change
is shown by the blue bar in the audio sample .
Once you have selected an audio sample (e .g . music) in one
of its sound tracks (e .g . music sound track), you can then
click on the Correction button . A list is displayed containing
all six sound tracks . From this list, select the sound track (e .g .
original sound track) in which you wish to modify the volume of
an audio sample (e .g . vocals) . Then slide the control located on
the right of it to the left or right (to reduce or increase the vol-
ume respectively) . This changes the sound in the track which
you previously selected (under Correction) for the complete
duration of the audio sample activated in another track .
By way of explanation, consider the following example . You
have assigned audio to three tracks . The first contains the
original sound, which extends throughout the storyboard .
The third track contains a piece of music which begins while
the original sound is running and which ends during a further
original sound . Select this piece of music . Then click on the
Correction button to call up a list of all sound tracks . From this
list, select the original sound track and reduce the volume by
means of the button adjacent to Correction until it is muted .
You now have no original sound for the complete duration of
(i) Use Range to determine the position of an editing point or a
range according to its location within the video .
• During determination of the position of an individual point,
the following menu is displayed against the background of the
current video:
Determine the position of the selected point either using the
scrollbar following activation of the Position switch, or by
means of the arrow buttons < and > .
• When determining the position for a range, the following
menu is displayed against the background of the current video:
The position of a range is determined either from the start
point (Start) or the end point (End), or by means of the arrow
buttons < and > .
(j) Use the play button to play the audio sample currently
shown in the wave form display, provided it has been calcu-
lated . The play position in terms of time is shown to the left of
the Play button in minutes:seconds:frames . The current play
volume is shown on the volume display . Play can be stopped
at any time by means of the Stop button .
Click on OK to terminate editing of the wave form and to ac-
cept the settings . Please note the following:
• The Volume and Correction controls are no longer avail-
able for the edited audio sample following editing of the wave
forms . You can therefore no longer modify the volume of the
wave form audio sample by means of the Volume control, nor
the volume of a parallel audio sample in relation to the wave
form audio sample by means of the Correction control .
• Insertion of a fade into a wave form audio sample deletes the
edited wave form (following a prompt) . All changes to the wave
form audio sample are then lost .
• Indirect volume control of a wave form audio sample is still
possible by Correction from another audio sample . Creation
must however be repeated .
• Audio effects may be inserted into wave form audio samples.
• The sample envelope remains if you have trimmed or moved
the audio sample .
(16) Click onto the “Sample” button . A window similar to the
“Scene” video effect menu will appear . At first, you can see
the name of the sample, which can be changed if needed . The
default name is the name of the sample . Next, you can decide
if you want to create a sample that runs across the length and
position of the selected sample, combining all audio tracks in
that position . To do this, click onto ‘Sample’ and then “OK” .
The sample will then be added to the ‘Audio Record /Edit’
screen .
Another possibility is the ‘Sample + Scenes’ function . Here,
you can determine that the new sample starts at the beginning
of the first scene - and ends at the end of the last scene it is
positioned under .
