Overview of new functions and
improvements
The following shows you the most important changes in the
Bogart SE 3.0 software in comparison to version 2.4 (Of Sep-
tember 16th, 2009). In this chapter, the new functionality will
merely be mentioned. You will find a comprehensive descrip-
tion in the following chapters.
In addition to the elements mentioned below, many other
smaller errors and inconsistencies have been corrected and
smaller improvements have been made that are not mentioned
here.
Audio
Controls and functionality related to audio mixing have been
extensively revised and expanded. Many of these changes will
only become visible when you opt for the Timeline view in one
of the higher resolutions.
• When you play sequences while mixing audio, all tracks will
be correctly mixed with all changes to volume and envel-
ope, without calculating them first. Only effects must still be
calculated.
• The sound curve will be displayed in combination with the
envelope for all samples
• The envelope can be changed directly for each sample that
has been displayed
• The number of sound tracks that is being displayed is freely
configurable (up to 3, or up to 6 with the Pro Pack)
• It is now also possible to mute individual sound tracks
• Sound samples can be inserted wherever you want in the
tracks, and you can then freely move them around within and
between sound tracks
• Several functions can be selected directly at the sound track
via a selector switch
• The small left trackball button can be used over the envelope
to activate several additional functions
• The status of the sound tracks (locked/unlocked) can now be
changed while dubbing
• The yellow guide lines can now be displayed over the full
height
• It is now also possible to change the sound volume of a
sample, regardless of the envelope
• When modifying the envelope, sample overmodulation (clip-
ping) will be shown right away
• There is now also an overmodulation test for the entire story-
board or timeline
• The Create sample function has been completely reworked.
It is now also possible to combine sound tracks
• The envelope window now allows to either play one sample
or all tracks in parallel
• Sound pre-mixing is now also possible when using transition
effects
• Sound samples in unlocked sound tracks should usually no
longer be removed when editing the video
Recording, HDV
• In addition to 1440x1080, HD resolutions 1920x1080 and
1280x720 are now also supported
• It is now possible to record HDV and AVCHD in SD projects
and to record DV in HD projects. If necessary, everything will
be converted while recording.
• When importing via Firewire (DV, HDV), the format will auto-
matically be recognized and displayed
• When importing via USB, it is now possible to read several
other formats in addition to AVCHD
• When importing via USB, you have now the ability to shorten
scenes at the start and at the end, in order to remove images
with errors
• Photo and time-lapse recordings are now also possible for
HD projects
Editing
• The clipboard can now be activated directly via a button.
Longer calculations can also be interrupted.
• The clipboard now also corrects the aspect ratios between
SD projects and adjusts the resolution between HD projects
