43 Bogart SE 2 user manual
The function "All" shows all image processing effects, which
are to be found in the system . "Default" shows the image
processing effects, which are integrated in the system, and
"Optional" only shows the image processing effects, which
have been installed afterwards .
If you have installed additional image processing effects, they
are also shown in this list (underneath the three settings listed
above) . Thus it is possible just to see only one image process-
ing effect type in the list .
(5) Clicking on the "i" button, you’ll get information about the
image processing effect activated in the effect list . If it is an ad-
ditional effect, the window "product information" opens, which
offers a description of the effect . Is the effect to be found a
standard effect, the product information refers to the manual .
(6) With the "Add" button you can apply the selected and
configured effect to the scene located in the center . The effect
symbol appears in the scene outlined in red . If you select a
new long-term effect even though there is already one in the
scene, the new effect replaces the old, without you having to
click again on "Add" . The length of the newly inserted effect
corresponds at first to the length of the actual scene, but can
be changed with the button located to the above-left (item(8)) .
(7) A click on the "Remove" button removes the inserted effect
from the storyboard . If you want to replace the current effect
with another, simply select the new effect and it will replace
the one in the storyboard . In this case you don't have to click
on the "Remove" button .
(8) After you have inserted a scene the scene length is dis-
played in this button (and thus the maximum length of the
effect) . Click this button so that the "Specify Range" menu
opens and you are given four selection options . You can let
the effect run "1 sec at beginning", "1 sec at end", over the
"complete scene", or over a specifiable "Range" .
Choosing the function "Range" opens a Trim menu, similar to
"Trim" from the "Edit" menu, in which you can set the appli-
cable range for the effect . The effect will begin at the In point
(first frame of the scene), and end at the Out point (the last
frame) . Some segments of the storyboard cannot be selected .
The reason is that other effects are already defined . Overlap-
ping between long-term effects and titling is not possible .
(However, you can do this by using the Special function in the
Edit screen to create new scenes with included IP effects .)
You can also choose between the "Trim“ and "Position“ func-
tions here as well . For further information, please refer to the
notes regarding "Insert“ (Chapter 4 .5, Point (12))
When you have set the range of your choice, return to the "Im-
age Processing" screen (click on the right button) .
If you have extended the effect to other scenes, then you will
also see the effect symbol in these scenes . (By choosing the
option "complete scene" you can remove the selected effect
from the other scenes .) The range that you just set is displayed
in this button .
4.10 Image Processing effects
Apart from transition effects there are also the Image Process-
ing effects .
In contrast to transition effects, Image Processing effects are
applied to entire scenes or segments of the storyboard . You
can make a part of your video brighter or invert it, or convert it
into a charcoal drawing or relief . These are sometimes referred
to as "filters" in old analog editing systems . In the same way,
for example, as a yellow filter on a camera lens modifies the
color of pictures taken, an Image Processing effect is applied
to a particular segment of the storyboard .
In the Image Processing effects screen only one scene is se-
lected . The selected scene represents the approximate range
for the intended effect . You can process just one image, or an
entire scene, or in the extreme case the entire storyboard .
(1) The long-term effects menu displays the familiar story-
board . You now bring the scene (to which you would like to
add effect) into the center of the storyboard .
A difference to the storyboard from the "Edit" menu is the Play
button . In the Image Processing effects screen the Play button
does not play the entire storyboard, only the selected scene in
the center . If an effect has been added, then the length of the
entire effect is played .
(2) You can select an effect in the effect list . Either click on the
effect directly so that it is highlighted by the dark-gray bar, or
use the slider or arrow buttons in order to move the desired
effect to the correct position . If you do use the slider, then after
selecting the effect you must press the left trackball button so
that the light-blue bar again changes to dark-blue .
Note: In going to print, not all effects were HDV capable and
could therefore not be made available in HDV projects.
(3) After you have chosen an effect that is available with further
options, the corresponding effect options are displayed in the
field to the right next to the effect list . There you can define, for
example, the colors and intensity of the effect .
(4) This button allows you to switch the effect list to single
points . The button offers the following three functions .
