Normalize after recording: With this option activated, your material's volume is
raised to a proper level after recording is completed. In order to achieve good
results, you should try to record the source as loud as possible without
overmodulating it. To do so, refer to the peak meter reader in the recording
dialog.
Play while recording: This option is particularly important for spoken
commentary, etc. If activated, the selected movie (or selected scene if
recorded in the "Edit" screen) is played while recording. This acts as orientation
for the movie.
Advanced: Use this button to open a window where you can select from
special features:
Advanced settings for audio recordings
 Mono recording: Activate to record in mono. This reduces the required
memory space in half. Mono recordings are recommended for voice
recordings made using only one standard mono microphone.
 Real-time resample to project's current sample rate: Automatically matches
the sample rate of a new file to be recorded with the sample rate of the current
movie's sound track (set in the video recording).
 Automatic volume reduction of other audio tracks ("ducking"): To add
narration or other sound material to a video that already has sound volume
levels set, activate the option ”Automatic reduction of sound volume of
remaining audio tracks”. This automatically reduces the volume of audio
objects in the arrangement during the recording session (”ducking”). This is
achieved using an automatically configured volume curve: Before and after the
recording, other tracks will be faded in or out, resulting in a homogeneous
total volume level. (Lowering of volume level during spoken comments is also
called "Ducking".)
Single frame
Single frame recording may be used to record snapshots from the connected
video source. This requires a DirectShow compatible video recording or TV
card or a corresponding USB device (e.g. a webcam).
The time control function allows you to automatically take snapshots. This is
useful for the following applications:
 to create slideshows using videos
 for animation films (stop-motion recording)
 for video surveillance
