picture. The current project‘s scene bin will be shown, allowing
you to select a suitable image from the available scenes. If the
background scene is shorter than the countdown, the scene
will repeat. If it is longer, only the necessary part will be shown.
Clipboard
This button is a buffer for storing scenes and clips. Select the
`Clipboard´ to enter a selection menu that allows you to place
and recover scenes from and into your current project. The top
part of this menu contains a list of all available scenes in the
clipboard. When you enter this menu the very first time, the list
will be empty. The menu contains the following options:
Add actual scene: Add the currently selected scene in the
scene bin to the clipboard.
Add other scene: Add another scene (other than the selected
one) to the clipboard.
Add scene from different project: You can add any scene from
any other project to the Storyboard. First, select the project
and then the scene from the scene bin of the project.
Remove scene(s): This option is only active if you have marked
at least one scene in the list. All scenes marked with a tick are
then deleted.
Import scene(s): This option is only active if you have marked
at least one scene in the list. All scenes marked with a tick are
then imported into your project.
Options: Here, you can set if the trimmed parts of a scene
are also affected. In addition, there is an option for importing
scenes in a different format.
The clipboard for audio is used in the same fashion.
Effect stack
This effect allows you to bundle as many image processing
effects in a single rendering process and apply them in one
go. Open the setting menu for this effect. In the top left of the
menu, you‘ll find a list of the effects. There are also the follow-
ing menu points:
`Add effect´: Select an effect from the list of image processing
effects. This effect is then added to the effect stack.
`Remove effect´: Removes an effect from the effect stack.
`Move effect up´: This moves the currently selected effect
within the stack list to the top.
marked scenes by pressing `Delete´. You will be asked if you
wish to delete merely the current scene or all marked scenes.
Press `All marked´ to delete all marked scenes. Use the `Undo´
button to restore the deleted scenes. Please note that you can
only restore the last 10 deleted scenes with this function. If you
deleted more scenes than 10, the remaining scenes
will be lost.
You can also mark scenes in the Storyboard, not just the
scene bin. You can do this in exact the same way as with the
scene bin.
The actions are themselves are done in the same fashion too.
Note that no scene should be activated when you want to pro-
cess an action in the Storyboard – otherwise the action menu
will remain inactive.
Marked scenes remain marked as long as you remain in the
edit menu. If you exit the edit menu, the marked scenes will be
unmarked.
Operators
Smart Edit 8 offers new effect operators. The Countdown
operator and the clipboard have been expanded in their func-
tionality. DVD-Arabesk has been moved to the main menu and
Ksebara is now found in the edit menu, under `New´.
Every effect list is now divided into different parts: The top part
is the `favorites list´, separated with the division line. These are
the effects that have been used the most recently. The list con-
tains the 10 most used effects. It allows you to select the most
frequent effects faster. Underneath the line, you can find the
regular effect list, with all the effects installed. You can deac-
tivate the effect favorites if you like. To do this, enter System
Settings > Additional Settings, deactivate the tick `Show often
used effects´. Place the tick again to activate the function.
Countdown
This function creates a countdown effect. For each second,
it shows a number counting backwards. You can change the
font and style used and even present a background picture.
If you want to show a background picture instead of a color
or pattern, set the alpha channel value to 0%. This makes the
selection translucent and allows you to select a background
