Using Split by Scene
Use the Split by Scene feature in the Edit workspace to detect different
scenes in a video file and automatically break it down into several clip
files.
The way Corel VideoStudio detects scenes depends on the type of
video file. In a captured DV
AVI file, scenes can be detected in two
ways:
• DV Recording Time Scan detects scenes according to their
s
hooting date and time.
• F
rame Content detects content changes, such as motion change,
camera shifting, brightness change, etc., and splits them into
separate files.
In an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file, scenes
can only be detected based on
content changes (i.e., by Frame Content).
To use Split by Scene on a DV AVI or MPEG file
1 In the Edit workspace, select a captured DV AVI file or an MPEG
file on the Timeline.
2 Click Options and click the Split by Scene button in the
Options panel. This will open the Scenes dialog box.
3 Choose your preferred scan method (DV Recording Time Scan or
Frame Content).
4 Click Options. In the Scene Scanning Sensitivity dialog box, drag
the slider to set the Sensitivity level. A higher value means more
precision in the sc
ene detection.
5 Click OK.
6 Click Scan. Corel VideoStudio then scans through the video file
and lists all the detected scenes.
You may merge some of the detected
scenes into a single clip.
