Chapter 4

If you click with the small right trackball button on a scene,

you will get a context menu that allows fast access to several

actions. This will greatly reduce your work when you have a

high screen resolution because the long mouse movements

necessary to trim or display a scene in the bin will no longer be

necessary. The functionality included in the menu is also avail-

able via buttons or options of the edit menu.

The menu allows you to play, trim or delete the scene. You can

also mark the scene or put the pointer on top of it and open its

action menu for the markings. The scene can also be renamed,

be assigned to a group, stored in the clipboard and its scene

information can be accessed.

The Storyboard can also be displayed as a ‘Timeline’. For this,

you require a VGA, HDMI or DVI screen resolution of at least

1024x768 pixels, or 1280x720 for HDMI. To use the Timeline

display, you must activate it in the System Settings. Until now,

you have been using a Storyboard style editing suite, which

sorts the scenes in order of play back. These scenes are

tagged with symbols representing the effects. This (particularly

for beginners) very effective method can be further optimized

by also making use of a Timeline display (especially for more

professional use).

The Timeline

With the new system software, you can make use of the

Timeline display as opposed to the Storyboard method. This

is often preferred by many professional video editors. In the

Storyboard, all added scenes are shown as a sequence of

pictures, each representing a speciﬁc scene. Effects, inserts

and titles are also shown as pictures in the Storyboard. This

allows for a very clean and uncluttered display of the sequence

of scenes and effects used. Important information such as the

length of the scene in relation to the entire Storyboard can not

be seen right away however.

When viewing the project as a Timeline, you instead see

scenes and effects as bars positioned on a time axis. The

length of the bars is shown in proportion to the length of the

entire project. In addition, you can compare scene lengths

directly with each other.

Effects and inserts are also shown as bars in the Timeline. In

order to improve the overview, they are shown as separate

bars - or tracks as we’ll call them. Apart from the video track,

there’s a track for inserts, image processing effects, titles and

transitions. Above the tracks, there is a time scale to help you

keep track of the time position for the scenes and effects. The

Timeline is the central element for your video editing work.

You can activate the Timeline via System Settings > Story-

board options > Mode. Depending on the settings you make,

the system switches between the Storyboard and Timeline

display mode. This menu can also be used to access even

more settings to adjust the scene bin and the storyboard. The

Timeline is shown in the same way in the edit menu, as well as

the effect menu. The audio menu additionally shows the audio

tracks.

The top part of the screen contains the Timeline, which is

divided into different parts. The view depends on the settings

you have made for the Timeline. The top of the screens holds

the time scale for reading the time and position of scenes in

the project. You can change the time display type via System

Settings > Additional Settings > Timecode display. Below the

time scale, you’ll ﬁnd the video track. All scenes are shown as

a sequence of bars or tracks, which can be zoomed at vary-

ing factors. One option is to zoom so that the ﬁrst and last

frame of a scene are seen on the ends of the bar. The scene

name is shown in the middle. If the bar is too short to show all

elements, only the start frame is shown. If you zoom out even

further, only the scene name will be displayed. Each scene

is separated by a vertical line, representing the beginning of

a new scene. The active scene is highlighted by a different

color and is not, unlike the Storyboard mode, positioned in the

middle of the screen. In addition, the active scene (or the ac-

tive insert part) sports a bright line at the bottom.

If you position an insert over a scene, you’ll ﬁnd the insert

scene in the insert track, just below the video track. It is posi-

tioned correctly below the background scene. The elements

found in this track can also display frame pictures or just text,

depending on your settings. Below the insert track is the effect

track for image processing and title effects. The effects are

also precisely positioned in the timeline, on the basis of time

and their relation to the scenes. Just as scenes, effects are

shown as stripes, with a corresponding effect symbol in them.

Transitions can be positioned on the lowest track, they are

shown in a way which is similar to image processing effects.

The display method is the same as used for image process-

ing effects. As soon as you insert a transition, the video track

display will change. Two consecutive scenes will be placed

‘over each other’. The overlapping area will be shown as hav-

ing its own ﬁeld, at the same length as the transition. The ﬁeld

contains a diagonal yellow line. In addition, depending on the

setup, two smaller images representing the ﬁrst and last frame

of the area may be shown.

To the right of the Timeline, you can see a larger version of ﬁrst

frame of the currently used scene. Directly below the image,
