13 Arabesk 6 User manual
Play: A movie that is selected in the list can also be played in
this dialog window, in order to verify that the correct project
has been added . To do this, you simply use the play button
. The movie is played as it would be in the Bogart SE project, it
is not a preview, it gives information about the settings (image
quality . . .) made in Arabesk .
Move movie (only possible in SD disc projects): Changing the
order in the sequence in which they should be burned to a disc
is still possible, even after adding them . To do this, use the
and ‘Move movie’ buttons . This will allow you to move
the currently selected movie up or down in the list . Re-sort-
ing makes it possible to determine any movie sequence you
desire, to use a certain movie (the first one in the list) as leader
movie or when you'd like to let all movies play automatically, in
a certain order, one after another .
Select range [R] (only for Bogart SE Gold Edition): Should
you not wish to burn the entire storyboard of a project on
your disc, it is also possible to select a range that should be
burned on the disc . To do this, you should click on the ‘Select
range [R]’ button . This will call up a new menu, similar to the
trimming menu which you may know from Bogart SE . With the
and buttons, you have the ability to trim your
movie so that only the range you need will be burned to the
storage medium .
If you have edited a movie of your disc project with this option,
an R (an abbreviation of the word Range) will appear in the
dialog window list in front of the duration of the corresponding
movie .
Add/Edit view angle [V] (only for Bogart SE Gold Edition):
Use the ‘Add/Edit view angle [V]’ button to create a so-called
Multi-Angle DVD, a Video DVD with sequences recorded from
different vantage points . Such a multi-angle DVD utilizes the
viewing angle option available on most DVD players . In cases
like this, there are several different versions of the same film on
the Video DVD, each filmed from a different angle . The viewer
can use the remote control at any time to switch between the
different versions or viewing angles (which explains the name) .
This function is at its best when you have recorded footage
using multiple cameras and then synchronized the footage us-
ing our QuadCam product . Ideal applications are, for example,
weddings, concerts, and baseball games .
For the production, you need a main movie that is included in
the storyboard of the corresponding Bogart SE project . The
storyboard can be created and edited as usual and should
then be added as a movie to Arabesk .
For the additional angles 1 to 4, you should select extra scenes
from the scene bin of the corresponding project that show
the same scene contents, only from a different perspective .
Use the ‘Select angle 1-4’ buttons to add the corresponding
scenes as viewing angles .
Tip: At this time, only a DVD with several viewing angles can be
created. This function is not available for Blu-rays.
The scenes should be just as long as the main movie. Other-
wise, the viewing angle concerned will be displayed as a still
image for the remaining time. The scenes must also all start at
the same point in time, since they can no longer be trimmed in
Arabesk.
Should you wish to remove the additional scenes again, you
should use the button after the scene name of the viewing
angle .
The sound track you would like to add to the disc can also be
selected here .
The ‘Only project audio’ option, uses the sound of the main
movie . The Individual option will play the corresponding sound
of the viewing angle that is being played .
Tip: This will, of course, also affect the used disc capacity.
Should you wish to burn several sound tracks to the DVD, this
will require more storage capacity.
The capacity of the selected storage medium is also indicated
in the dialog field and changes in function of the settings that
have been made .
If you have edited a movie of your disc project with this option,
a V (an abbreviation of the word View) will appear in the dialog
window list in front of the corresponding movie .
2.3.2 Chapters
When this menu opens, the ‘Edit chapters’ dialog window
appears . At the top left, there is a Movie button to select the
movie that should be divided into chapters or of which the
chapter settings should be changed . When the Chapters dia-
log window is opened for the first time, the movie that was last
edited or selected in the Movie menu of the active disc project
will be set by default . If you click on the button, a new dialog
window will open with a list of the movies that have previously
been added in the Movie menu .
Should there be several, you will be able to click on a movie
you wish to select for chapter editing . It will now be highlighted
in color . If there is only a single movie in the disc project, it will
already be select by default .
The currently selected movie will also be displayed with its
Bogart SE project name next to the Movie button .
Below the button, to the left, there is a chapter list (if the
partitioning option ‘No chapters’ is currently selected, the list
is empty) with the names of the chapters, the chapter numbers
and their duration . To the right, there is a preview image which
always shows the first image of the chapter that is selected in
the list .
The scene name will only be displayed if naming is also set to
‘scene names’ . If the name ‘numbered’ is selected, you will
see the chapter numbers in the list (this option is only available
in the Gold Edition) .
