chose. When using a higher resolution, you will see a larger
view of the currently selected scene on the right side.
(9) The slider below (right) the scene bin is used to select the
scenes to be displayed. The buttons next to the slider can also
be used to move through the Scene bin one scene at a time.
The buttons "|<" and ">|" are used to jump to the beginning or
the end of the scene bin. The "<" and ">" buttons will move
through the scene bin one scene at a time.
(10) The Playback button is to the right of the storyboard slider.
This button is used to playback the active scene displayed in
the center of the scene bin.
Stop and Pause buttons are also available.
(11) Clicking on this "i" button displays a window showing
information about the activated scene in the scene bin. In the
upper part of this window you’ll see the timecode, the record-
ing date, the recording time and the format.
Further, you can call up the keyboard by clicking on "Enter/
change comment" in order to add your notes to this scene,
which then will be displayed in the lower box.
Clicking on "Ok" confirms the notes, so that it will be displayed
in this information window when it is called up again.
(12) In case you have not yet renamed the scenes in the
Record screen, you again have the chance here to give the
scenes your own names. Simply select the desired scene in
the scene bin and then click on this button to bring up the on-
screen keyboard. If you have the PowerKey option, then you
can use this keyboard to clear the old name and enter a new
name.
(13) Many users require "overlapping" of certain video se-
quences with other scenes without changing the original audio.
Example: a music video. A complete recording of the singer is
available. Certain portions of this recording are to be substi-
tuted with other scenes, but the view of the artist singing is
to reappear several times. The movement of the singer's lips
should always be synchronized with the music. This means
that the original audio does not change, even though scenes
are changed.
Bogart SE offers an easy way to do this: With an Insert-edit,
the selected scene in the scene bin is overlaid onto the story-
board. Only the video, not the audio of the scene is overlaid.
Clicking on "Insert" overlays the selected scene in the story-
board with the selected scene from the scene bin. The scene
in the storyboard (background) is then partially or completely
covered with the insert scene (foreground). The background
scene must, of course, be longer than the foreground scene.
The range (start position, length) can be set freely and changed
at any time, even after the Insert is placed. Every click on "In-
sert" leads automatically to a Range menu.
The starting point, which is by default set to the first frame of
the insert, can be moved towards the end ("Start" button).
To do this, you have to select “Position”. Now you can see the
background scene. To trim the insert-scene either from the
front or from behind, switch the selection button to “Trim” so
that you can see the “IN” and “OUT” buttons. During this set-
ting, you can see the background scene. Set the selection but-
ton to “Trim E” so that you can see the insert-scene instead.
The “fg+/jointfilesconvert/1730756/bg small” mode is used to show both foreground
and background scene in smaller versions. When trimming an
Insert scene, you’ll see the “Foreground IN” and “Foreground
OUT” screens. Above, you’ll see two smaller screens depicting
the scene frame just prior (“Backgr.IN-1”) and after (“Backgr.
OUT+”) the insert. In this fashion, you have all the information
about the insert length and the position on top of the base
scene.
Using the "Pos. small" mode, you will see the same layout
of the menu, however, in this case you are moving the insert
scene on top of the background scene. The preview for "Start"
and "End" shows you the position of the background scene,
where the insert begins and ends. The smaller scene images
above show you the "IN" and "OUT" frames of the insert itself.
Press play in the Insert menu to monitor how your insert has
been added. Press the Play button again to stop. This plays 2
seconds before and after the insert, while playing the original
audio track of the Storyboard scene. This gives you good
control over the position of the Insert. To the right of the play
button, you'll find another special Playback command which
activates a dual screen: The left image shows the background
scene and the right image the Insert scene. .Playback begins
a little before the Insert scene. You can pause playback any
time, restart and stop. Quit to return to the Edit or Main menu.
The so-called “background scene”, in other words the story
board, can be split in three parts:
1. the background scene before the insert
2. the Insert scene
3. the rest of the background scene after the insert
This division allows you to place any number of insert se-
quences onto a single background scene.
Inserts are indicated in the storyboard by a symbol (two
overlapping rectangles) in the upper part of the scene in the
