You can load a video or image file by dragging it into the Storyboard from the Media
Pool using the mouse. To generate a preview of the video, drag the file into the
program monitor. The transport console no longer applies to the Storyboard, but plays
the video from the Media Pool.
A loaded file is made up of a single long "scene", which can be split into several
smaller scenes. You can do this manually using the Cut button (view page 45) in the
lower tool
bar or using the function Automatic scene detection (view page 271)
(S
hortcut Shift + Z).
You can then re-arrange the scenes using drag & drop and delete unwanted scenes.
The following buttons are found on every scene:
Add titles and text: Click on the "T" button to add a title. Enter your
text straight into the program monitor. You can also change the size
of the title. The title is added at the beginning of the scene and is
displayed for 5 seconds.
Set volume: The volume in the soundtrack of each scene can be set
with the loudspeaker button.
Effects menu: This button provides access to a menu with
copy/paste functions, some special functions ("Scene recognition",
Audio/video offset for videos, "Cut automatically to fit screen" and
"Change photo length" for pictures) and Object properties.
Transitions/Fades: Click on the large button between the scenes and
select a scene transition (or "Fade"). You can choose between a
"Crossfade" and a "Thru black" that each last one second. Selecting
"Cut (no fade)" removes the fade.
Rotate image (only with image files): If an image or photo is on its
side or upside down, click on this button. The photo will rotate 90
degrees.
Display duration: The display duration for each scene is shown here
in [Minutes]:[Seconds]:[Frames]. With image files, you can click the
time display and adjust the display duration in the dialog that appears.
This duration can be applied to all photos in the movie.
