Marking scenes

Until now, the scene bin was made more convenient with the

aid of scene groups, or by hiding already added scenes. Now,

you can further improve and optimize the edit bin with two new

functions found at the bottom left of the screen. The buttons

`Mark´ and `Action´ belong together and allow you to comfort-

ably sort the scenes in your edit bin. To do this, you can mark

certain scenes in your edit bin and copy or move them to an-

other place. This makes it possible to put scenes that belong

together next to each other.

The button `Mark´ obviously marks the selected scene in the

edit bin. When marked, a scene displays a ﬁlled square symbol

above the scene icon. if you want to mark another scene, se-

lect the scene and press the `Mark´ button. You can speed up

the process by pressing the left trackball button. In this case,

you do not have to speciﬁcally select the scene ﬁrst. Place the

pointer over the desired scene and press the left small track-

ball button. That‘s all! This marks the scene. You can also use

the Power Key (optional product) to mark the scenes faster.

The `Action´ button reveals a menu for creating an action for

the selected scene. Alternatively, you can open this menu us-

ing the right small trackball button. Depending on the number

of marked scenes, there are various actions that can be put

into effect:

`Swap scenes´: This function swaps two scenes around and is

available when you activate exactly two scenes.

`Move here´: All marked scenes are positioned behind the cur-

rently selected scene. The previous positions of these scenes

are removed.

`Copy here´: All marked scenes are copied to a position after

the currently selected scene. A duplicate is created and copied

to the new position. The original scenes remains at its position.

`Mark Storyboard´: With this function, you can mark a scene in

the Storyboard/Timeline.

`Mark scene bin´: This marks all scenes in the scene bin. This is

useful for selecting a large number of scenes. Simply activate

all scenes ﬁrst, then deactivate single scenes.

`Remove all marks´: This removes all marked scenes without

processing an action.

`Cancel´: This cancels and closes the menu without processing

any action. The marked scenes remain marked.

If you mark multiple scenes in the scene bin and wish to add

them to the Storyboard, select the scene in the Storyboard

after which the scenes are to be positioned. Now click on

the “add” button and choose `all marked´. The scenes will be

copied to the Storyboard in the exact same order and placed

behind the active Storyboard scene. You can also delete the

In the audio mix menu, the Timeline works very much the

same. In addition, the audio tracks are shown.

The top audio track is the original sound belonging to the

scene seen above it. If there is a transition between two

scenes, the fade between the two scenes‘ original sound is

shown by a diagonally divided area. Generally, positioning

and arranging audio in the Timeline works pretty much just

like using the Storyboard mode. Across the entire area, the

audio tracks show status bars, giving you information (via its

color) about the audio below. If the audio is rendered, and the

volume levels are adjusted correctly, it will be shown in blue. If

the audio is overmodulated, it is red. Finally, unrendered audio

is shown in yellow.

Setting up the Timeline

In order to display the Storyboard as a Timeline, the system

requires a VGA or DVI resolution of at least 1024x768. A video

monitor can not display the Timeline. Before activating the

Timeline display, it is important that you ﬁrst select a suitable

screen resolution. Go to the System Settings > Storyboard

options > to ﬁnd the following options:

Storyboard – mode: This is used to switch the display between

the Storyboard and Timeline mode. The Timeline gives you two

further options: Either `Timeline´ for displaying the Timeline in

all menus or `Timeline (Mix only)´ for displaying the Timeline

only in the audio mixing screen.

Storyboard – video: You can apply a text onto the video track

which will be the name of the scene. Alternatively, you can

apply an image at the start and end of the scene. In this case,

you can change the size of the image from small, medium and

large. The images have an advantage over the text: Very short

scenes may not show the full text.

Storyboard – insert: You can apply the same settings to the

insert track as the video track. In addition, you can completely

deactivate the insert track if you do not require it.

Storyboard – Change colors: This button activates an alter-

native scene dispaly for the scenes in the video track. If you

activate this, scenes will be shown in altering blue colors, in

addition to the yellow separators.
