MacroSystem Bogart SE Ver.2 User manual - Manual (Page 24)

22 Chapter 4
You have three options: "Delete Storyboard", "Delete scenes"
and "Delete samples" . It is possible to select two or even all
three options at the same time . A click on the box next to the
option activates or deactivates that particular function .
If you choose all options, all data (video and audio, and all ef-
fects) within the currently active project are deleted .
All project settings can now be reset . Project settings are fixed
only after video recording or creation has begun .
The following are not deleted:
• other edited projects
• scenes in the clipboard
• archived colors and titles
• effect modules, including those that have been installed later
• installed fonts
• other supplementary programs
If you choose only one function, merely this part of the project
will be deleted .
(8) The `Information´ button gives information on project name,
storyboard length, scenes and effects inserted into the story-
board, and on the total number of existing scenes and samples .
(9) The `Backup Storyboard´ function allows you to save the DV
or HDV Storyboard to an external medium . This button is only
available if there are scenes in the Storyboard . Make sure to
check what the mode of the button next to it is (11) – this set-
ting very much determines the type of storage/backup .
Click onto the `Backup Storyboard´ button . You must then
select the destination medium (CD/DVD, internal/external hard-
drives or Firewire hard-drive) . Then press `Ok´ and enter the
name for the Storyboard you wish to save .
If you are using the `HDV´ (in a HDV project) or `DV´ mode, the
first thing to happen is that the non-created effects are ren-
dered . If you are using the `DV-Backup´ mode, the footage is
left un-rendered (see mode, point (11)) .
Note: If you are using an already burned CD/DVD/BD RW, the
system shall overwrite after you have confirmed a warning!
This means it is not possible to store multiple backup sessions
on one medium.
Please remove the medium when the system
informs you that the backup was successful, not before. To
import the Storyboard again, read the next section.
(10) The `Restore Storyboard´ function makes it possible to
load the previously saved DV footage Storyboard back into the
system . Insert the CD/DVD or connect the Firewire hard-drive
and start the process . Once the data has been loaded, the au-
tomatic split functionality (see chapter 4 .5 ., Point (20)) will kick
in – but only if you selected the `DV-Backup´ mode .
You will then be asked if the recovered footage is to be added
to the Storyboard or to the Scene Bin . Inserting the scenes to
the Storyboard will also add the saved effects in between .
If
you saved your work in `DV´ mode, the recovered material will
be added in the form of a normal scene . Make your selection
and confirm with `Ok´ to find out the number of scenes to be
created . Confirm again and enter the Edit menu to work with
the recovered data .
`HDV´ and `MTS´ exports can not be loaded back into Bogart .
This data is only suitable for playback and editing in another
device or PC .
(11) The `Mode´ button has an `HDV´, `MTS´ (in the case of an
HDV Project), `DV´ and `DV-Backup´ setting . Before saving your
Storyboard, set the option for an `HDV´ or `DV´ project to save
the entire material . Prior to saving, the all non-rendered effects
and audio is created . If you load the footage back into the sys-
tem with the `Restore Storyboard´ function, you will see only
one scene in the Edit menu (Scene Bin) – named `Storyboard´ .
Setting the option for `DV-backup´ on the other hand, results
in a backup with additional information so that the Story-
board can be mostly restored again . For instance, the single
scene retain their names, the original sound, transition, image
processing and titling effects keep their settings . Please note
that inserts, the single audio tracks, title texts and the settings
of effects which have their own interface can not be recovered
(for example, PiP Studio) . The same goes for Insert scenes that
are coupled with effects .
In `HDV´ projects, you can also use the `MTS´ mode . This
stores projects in `MTS´ format for playback on other compat-
ible systems .
(12) If you have saved your Storyboard to an external Firewire
hard-drive, you can use the button `Remove´ to remove all data
of the Storyboard that was archived .
(13) This menu symbol returns you to the Main menu, the same
as clicking the right trackball button .
4.3 Video settings
This screen (not available on some system models and in HDV
projects) allows you to correct the levels of the incoming video
signal (in terms of brightness, contrast and saturation), and it is
used for selecting the video input . These are settings that you
can change at any time when recording analog footage – even
after the project has been edited .
(1) You can specify here the brightness, contrast, and color of
the analog video material before recording . This allows you to
see the footage as it will be digitized . This setting is not avail-
able when using DV or HD footage . It is possible, of course, to
use Image Processing effects to make corrections to recorded
video material after input, but this involves rendering time .
