6.5.7 Scene Detection
Video clips that were recorded from tape machines or telecines are of-
ten available in a single image sequence only. With the Edit Tool you
can make a scene detection that automatically analyzes the video clip(s)
for cuts. Afterwards the detected cuts/scenes are marked visibly in the
timeline where they can be edited further and, if required, actually cut.
This section explains how to use the scene detection of the Edit Tool.
Example 2:
In the second example the third track is now disabled (muted).
When a play-out is initiated, this will lead to an output where clip #3
is not given out at all while the clips #2 and #4 overlay the clip #1
present in the first video track (the one with the lowest priority).
The display of the video tracks can be reversed via the Config-
uration Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for
more information). However, this does not affect the play-out
priority, i.e. the priority of the video track with the highest
number over all others when enabled.
The DVS software is able to autoconform offline composed
projects into different video tracks (e.g. via its I/O Tool or the
conforming tool; see “CLIPSTER I/O Tool” user guide and
chapter “The Conforming Tool” on page 8-1). Thus, with the
help of the vertical editing feature you can compare different
versions of conformed projects easily in the timeline.
