time and consumes hard-drive capacity. When recording data

you should always leave a small amount of hard drive capac-

ity in reserve. Depending on how often effects are used, this

should be between 2% and 10% of the video playing time.

(13) If your system supports the function “scene” you can

make use of the multi-layer technique. If you would like to

overlay several long-term effects, you at ﬁrst insert an effect

into a scene and create it. Then you convert the scene with

the inserted effect into a separate scene. To do this you click

on the “Scene” button so that a window appears in which you

can select the range for the new scene. The name of the used

image processing effect appears next to “Name” and is given

as default name for the new scene. If desired, you can enter

another name by clicking and using the keyboard that appears.

You also see the three options “Effect”, “Effect + scene(s)”,

and “Range”. If you only want to convert the effect with the

previously set range into a new scene, then click on “Effect”.

Furthermore, you can choose if a new scene is added to the

scene bin and/or if it is to replace the Scene + Effect in the

Storyboard. Click on “OK” so that the effect is turned into a

scene and added as selected above.

You can also adjust the length of the new scene to the range

of the previous scene (with inserted effect). In this case click

on “Effect + Scene(s)” and then - once you have selected

where it is added - on “OK”. The new scene is created and ap-

pears in the scene bin.

Alternatively, you can create the scene from the entire length

of or from a portion of the storyboard. Click onto “Range”,

select how it is to be added and then conﬁrm with “OK”. Use

the IN and OUT points (in the now familiar Range menu) to

select the range of the new scene. The wave form can be of

help (chapter 3.2 “Sound envelope and audio scrubbing”) and

can be toggled on/off with the loudspeaker symbol.

Then click on “OK” in the Range menu and the scene is cre-

ated and stored in the Edit menu. Of course, you can also cre-

ate a separate scene from a portion of the storyboard in which

there is no effect. Simply select a scene in the storyboard and

click on “Scene”. In the window that is displayed only the func-

tion “Range” is enabled. Specify a range and click on “OK”.

Then you can view the new scene in the Edit menu.

Should you want to create a scene with the possibility “Effect

+ Scene”, you now have the additional choice to determine

how the new scene should be treated.

Replace in storyboard: After rendering the scene, the one in

the Storyboard will be replaced by a new one. This will also

remove the image processing effect on the scene, so that only

the new scene will be included for the storyboard. You could,

for example, place an additional effect on the new scene and

have it rendered.

Render scene in scene bin: Activate this function to insert your

rendered scene in the scene bin (in the Edit menu), behind the

currently activated scene. These options can be deactivated

if you do not want to store the scene. In that case, the scene

must be replaced in the storyboard.

Note: One of both options is always active, it is not possible to

deactivate both of them.

The multi-layering technique for image processing effects can

also be applied by using the Edit menu to activate a scene in

the scene bin and then clicking the “Special” button. All image

processing effects are listed there. The effect you select is not

applied into the storyboard. Instead, a copy is made of the

active scene in the scene bin with the image processing effect

added to it. The copy incorporates the effect, and its name is

supplemented with SP, SP 2, etc. You can repeat this proce-

dure at will. (see also section 4.7 “Editing”, item (20))

(14) Clicking on the menu symbols brings you directly to the

Edit, Transition effects, Titling, and Main menu screens.

Note: If you change a setting for an effect that has already

been calculated, or change the duration, or even replace the

effect with another, the effect must then be re-created. Be

careful!

(15) The Loop mode is basically similar to the one feature in

the Transitions menu. You can read more about this in section

4.9 Transition effects, point (17).

The image processing effects in detail

The following image processing effects are available in the

standard package:

1. Sharpen: Sometimes you may want to improve a blurred

segment of a scene (e.g. old archive material). This effect is

used to increase image sharpness. The degree of sharpness

can be set from 1-8 with the “Strength” control. The preview

does not do full justice to the result, so you should experiment

beforehand with a shortened version (Edit/Copy, Trim) of the

scene you would like to correct.

2. Fade out: This effect helps you to fade out the scene, e.g.

at the end of your ﬁlm. Use the “Color” option to select the

desired color to which the scene is faded. At ﬁrst, the effect

overlays your scene very lightly with the color so that the

scene is still clearly visible. In the course of the effect the color

becomes more and more dominant until the scene is com-

pletely overlaid and no longer visible. This effect fades out only

the picture material, not the audio!

3. Control Image: With this effect you can change “Bright-

ness”, “Contrast”, “Saturation”, and “Gamma”.

4. Binarizer: The scene is divided into two colors according to

1 2 ... 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 ... 111 112
