occurring problems and tips for handling them.
Please become familiar with the following tips and help on

Tips:
If you have installed the Power-Key Option, you have the pos-
sibility to arrange the scenes within the storyboard.
The key combination SB, Ctrl, c allows you to copy a scene
and position it at another place by clicking the key combina-
tion SB, Ctrl, v.
If you wish that the scene won’t be shown at its original posi-
tion, copy it with the combination SB, Ctrl, x and place it at
another position.
If you wish to trim a scene which is to be found in the story-
board, call up the trim menu by pressing the combination SB, t.
SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE
Problem: Every time the machine is turned on the installation
query appears.
Solution: After successful installation you must remove the
CD/DVD from the machine (and store in a safe place). The
system then starts and displays the Main menu of the user
interface.
CONNECTION OPTIONS
Problem: Can I connect other input devices?
Solution: Yes. You can connect most types of USB mice and
trackballs that are available on the market. You can also use
USB keyboards (PowerKey Option) or the Twister input device.
TRACKBALL
Problem: The trackball makes a grinding sound and/or cursor
movement is jumpy or works only in one direction.
Solution: The trackball is probably dirty. Carefully remove the
ball and clean it.
PICTURE AND SOUND
Problem: There is no video picture when I am trying to input
from my VCR or camera. When I bring up the "Video settings"
menu I see the menu but the screen is otherwise black.
Solution: Check to be sure that:
• you have connected and activated the video input device.
Are all the cables connected properly?
• you have activated the correct input.
• the video input device is actually sending a signal, meaning
that it is playing a cassette with recorded material.
Problem: During titling letters appear correctly on the screen
but after being recorded out or even during transfer "jagged-
ness" and "bleeding" are seen.
Solution: This is a problem to colors being too "hot", meaning
that they are over-saturated. Bogart SE can create colors that
can only be processed by professional video machines and
that lead to distortions when using VHS, SVHS, or even DV
devices. In such a case simply reduce the color saturation and
brightness (section 3.2, Color box). You will retain almost the
same color shade but can record it without distortion.
Problem: There is no picture when I record from the video
input device. The message "No video signal" appears.
Solution: Read the corresponding information in the hardware
manual.
Problem: When recording the video material I hear no sound.
Solution: Set the correct input in menu "Audio recording/edit-
ing" so that the volume level is visible.
Problem: The audio is distorted.
Solution: Before recording, set the volume level so that over-
driving (red appears in level display) dœs not occur.
Problem: The volume keeps changing when I play my
storyboard.
Solution: Take care when dubbing that the volume of a track
is not affected unintentionally by the settings for other tracks.
Problem: My video is off to the side. I can't see part of
the menu.
Solution: The screen position depends on the monitor used.
Screen positioning is configured according to the studio norm.
It is possible that the display area is different for some non-
professional monitors. Unfortunately, a simple solution to this
is not possible. If you only use the monitor for your system,
then it might make sense to have the monitor configured spe-
cially for it. In this case, contact your Dealer.
Problem: The camera supplies a picture that has too much of
a blue tone.
Solution: Use the long-term effect "White balance" or "Control
Color". If you wish to use other Image Processing effects in the
same portion of the video, then select these from the "Special"
