 Now select the screen area you wish to record, i.e. the screen of the video
player in which the video is playing. Drag the frame over the area you wish
to record and adjust its size as required by dragging the edges and corners.
Hint: If you selected the "fullscreen" preset before, or clicked the "fullscreen"
button in the dialog before, the frame will appear outside the visible area.
 The actual recording process can be started by pressing the red record
button. The recording starts; the record symbol appears in the task bar
(tray).
 Once the video you wanted to record has come to an end, click on the
"Record/Stop" button to stop the recording. Recording ends and the
recording dialog is visible once again.
Recording AVCHD
This recording is actually not really a recording as such, but rather "only"
the transfer of the already created video file and its import into the existing
project.
AVCHD essentially requires a UDF driver (this is normally included with the
camera), since then DVDs and removable storage devices may be imported
into Windows. This is required for AVCHD cameras with a hard drive. The
camera will respond as a drive soon as it is connected via a USB cable to
the PC.
This additional drive is now present in the Media Pool and corresponding
M2TS files may now be imported from it. These files feature the extension
M2TS, which means they may simply be dragged from the Media Pool (top
right) downwards.
A convenient option featuring multiple options is provided by the AVCHD
import dialog (view page 61).
Note: This may be helpful under some circumstances on older systems that
convert AVCHD files into MPEG-2 format during import. A corresponding
query appears during importing of these files.
In order to play multiple tracks simultaneously, switch the hardware
acceleration on ("P -> Display options -> Playback in arranger -> Video
mode -> Hardware acceleration Direct3D). This option only functions with
current graphics cards (ATI Radeon 1300 or higher).
