13 Bogart SE 2 user manual
System Settings screen .
There you can bring up information on the products selected in
the list (e .g . effect modules, font packages, etc .) . You will also
find information and summary instructions for products that
are only installed as demo versions, if available .
The info button of the edit menu is available both in the "Story-
board" part (displays information about the storyboard) as well
as in the "Scene Bin" (displays information about the activated
scene) .
Archive function
You will see the "Archive" button in various menus and
screens (e .g . titling, color box) .
Clicking on this button opens a screen in which there are four
buttons: "Load", "Save", "Delete", and "Cancel" .
Clicking on "Load" displays a list of the titles, effects, or set-
tings that have previously been saved . You can then directly
select or scroll to an entry in this list and confirm .
A click on "Save" displays the same list . There are now two
possible courses of action:
1 . You can click on the rectangle directly below the list so that
the keyboard is called up and you can type in a name, after
which you click on "Ok" in the keyboard and in the text archive
field . This creates a new archive entry .
2 . You can select an entry from the list and then click on the
rectangle in which the name of the selected entry is now visi-
ble . Now you can use the keyboard field to overwrite this name
with another name of your choice . This differs from the first
option in that here you not only change the name, but you also
overwrite the entry itself, so that the original entry is perma-
nently deleted .
If you click on "Delete", a list of the saved entries is displayed
in which you can select an entry to delete and confirm with
"Ok" .
Clicking on "Cancel" exits the window without making any
changes .
With the help of archiving you can save frequently used stan-
dard text and reuse the text at any time in any of the projects .
Image Pool
An additional function is the Image Pool . This is a ‘global’ area
for storing graphics and masks; this means that the images/
masks can also be exchanged between different program pa-
ckages and projects or saved directly from your footage .
The main program and almost all supplemental programs use
the Image Pool . In this way, graphics brought into the system
by one program can automatically be used by all other pro-
grams .
The Image Pool is used in many areas of the system, e .g .
titling, when creating new scenes, in the edit screen or in con-
junction with DVD-Arabesk .
If you select the scene "Pattern" in the menu "New", the option
"Select Pattern" appears to the right . You can click on that to
open the Select pattern screen which offers you a number of
patterns to choose from .
In the area to the above-left you see the selection button
"Product" offering you a list of the main program "Bogart SE",
"DVD Arabesk" (if it is installed), different additional programs
and the option „Custom Images“ .
The next selection button "Type" offers you up to four different
types of graphics:
Masks are used principally by programs such as Liquid
Images and Ultimate Spice Box .
The masks are gray pictures whose form is used by the pro-
grams to specify the course of effects . But the masks can also
be used for other purposes . For example, they can be colored
and used to achieve variety in backgrounds for titling .
Monochrome (gray) patterns (also called "textures") are
listed here . These can be colored and used as background
elsewhere . Because the patterns are usually smaller than the
screen, they are automatically tiled on the screen, until the
desired surface is completely covered .
Color shows multi-colored patterns, that are used in the same
way as the monochrome patterns . No further coloring is possi-
ble as the patterns already contain color .
Pictures can be found in this category, (e .g . you see here the
maps of the program „Columbus“ (if it is installed) or the back-
ground pictures for DVD Arabesk) . Although they are intended
to be used as background for DVD titles, the pictures can also
be used elsewhere in the system . You'll find "Bogart SE" under
“Product“ . From here, you can also find logos of the single sy-
stems as well as the MacroSystem logo . These can be used as
background pictures when creating your own text panel in the
titling screen and are therefore very useful for credits . In additi-
on, you will find many pictures provided here (e .g . stars) – they
have many uses particularly when creating titles .
In the bottom left corner of the image pool you will see the
i-button described earlier . This button allows you to access
information on the currently selected "Product” .
