2. All found scene transitions in the list can be checked in the dialog. Every scene
marker can be selected or deleted. Select a scene transition from the list of
found scene transitions and use the preview images to check whether the
found transition is really a scene change or not.
Tip: This option is helpful, for example, if a camera flash was captured in the source
footage. The flash from the camera would cause a sudden brightness modification
even though there was no actual scene change.
The preview always displays the end of the previous scene and the beginning of the
new scene. If the images do not differ except for the brightness, the scene may have
been falsly recognized. In this cases select "Delete scene marker".
Via the zoom +/- buttons you can enlarge the part of the arranger where the selected
scene begins or previous scene ended.
You can use the "Sensitivity" controller to change the sensitivity of the scene
recognition, so that different scene changes can be found depending on the setting.
With "Action on OK" you can specify whether the movie should be cut at the selected
scene transition or at all scene transitions and whether the found scenes should be
saved in the project folder.
Musical cut adjustment
Behind the "Adjust cuts to music" function in the "Edit" menu hides the option to
adjust the rhythm of an existing arrangement with cut scenes to a song in order to
transform the movie into a music video. Requisite is that the song contains
information about rhythm and beat.
• Place the arrangement with video sequences on the top track (track 1), which
should be used for the musical edit adjustment. If possible, the arrangement
should have the same length as the song and contain many cuts.
• Load the song, on which the cuts should be based, onto the track below.
• Select "Edit" > "Musical cut adjustment".
