MacroSystem Bogart SE Ver.2 User manual - Manual (Page 34)

32 Chapter 4
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 mo-
tion is 8 seconds long . To calculate the length of what the new
scene will be, multiply the scene length 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 frame
rate . 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 mo-
tion, but creates a new scene that runs faster than the original .
Here you can specify a speed-up factor between 2 and 10 . Un-
even values are recommended in order to obtain full resolution .
The new scene has the suffix "ZR". You calculate the length by
dividing the time of the original scene by the specified speed-
up 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 possible .
– Clipboard
(only available if you are using an activated Pro Pack)
This is a function for temporary storage . 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 Story-
board) will be added to the Clipboard
Add another scene: You can add any other scene from the
scene bin of the current project .
Add scene from another project: You can add any scene from
the Storyboard . To do this, first select the right project and
then choose from the available list .
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 to the current project .
Options: You can choose if trimmed parts of a scene are
copied as well . You can also choose to import the scene with
another format, if required .
You then see the inserted Clipboard scenes in the scene bin .
The scenes might have new numbers if the scenea or scene
namea are already present in the scene bin .
If you click (in the clipboard) on the function "Remove scene",
the "Remove scene from clipboard" menu is opened and you
can select the scene to be deleted from the clipboard . Again,
multiple-selection using the box checkmark is possible . Then
you only have to click on "OK" and the scenes are deleted .
Note: If you click on "Remove scene" you see that in the
window displayed the "OK" button is disabled (appears in dark
gray) and thus cannot be clicked. This is a safety measure so
that you don't accidentally delete a scene. If you really want
to delete a scene, then click twice on the scene to be deleted
(even if it appears in gray) and then click on the "OK" button
that is now enabled.
The function "Scene from project --> Clipboard" is used to
choose scenes in other projects without entering the project
settings .
Clicking on the button "Scene from project --> Clipboard"
opens the screen "Select project", in which you can choose
one of your Projects, from which you want to export a scene .
After marking a project and having clicked on "Ok", the scene
bin of the activated project opens from which you can choose
the desired scene . After confirming with "Ok" the scene is
transported in the clipboard . Now you can click on "Clipboard
--> Project", so that a window appears in which you can
mark the scene you just exported . After confirming with "Ok",
the scene will be imported into the scene bin of your current
project .
The clipboard serves principally to store video scenes tempo-
rarily in order to use them in other projects . The clipboard can
be accessed from any project .
Of course, it is also possible to copy DV material into an HDV
project with the aid of the Clipboard .
If you switch into another DV project and use new project set-
tings, then the scenes already contained in the clipboard are
marked with an asterisk and may not be usable . If you select
one of these scenes in order to insert it into the scene bin, the
"These scene properties do not conform to project settings!"
message appears .
