Load pictures, texts and audio files
To preview, click on the corresponding file in the Media Pool. The bitmap/video is played in the video
monitor. If you want to use the bitmap file for your slideshow, drag it to the Storyboard while holding
down the mouse key or to a target track in Timeline mode. You can also load with a simple double click.
Videos and graphics are always added to the end; titles and audio files are placed at the position of the
start marker.
If you would like to load several files, then hold down the "Ctrl" key while clicking on the entries you
would like to use.
If you would like to load a sequence of files, then hold down the "Shift" key, click on the first entry, and
then on the last. All entries in between are marked.
The files are moved automatically into the tracks that have been set up for them: Videos and single frame
pictures in track one, sound in the second track, text objects (titles) in track three, additional sound files
in track four.
If there are a lot of files, then those already selected are highlighted in the Explorer to help you keep an
overview.
Preview
The preview function can be used for all files. If an audio or video file is selected in the file list, the
transport console switches to preview mode. The transport functions of the transport console no longer
apply to the objects in the Arranger but rather to the file selected in the Media Pool. You will be able to
tell this by the flashing play button in the transport console. Use this button to start the preview. Graphics
and text objects are displayed immediately in the video monitor.
Exchange
Replaces the selected object with an object selected in the
Media Pool. Length adjustment moves the objects following it
correspondingly.
If photo objects are removed/exchanged, then the display duration will remain.
Sound in picture support
Some digital cameras have an audio recording function and save a WAV
file with each photo. The PC identifies these cameras as separate drives. The audio file is automatically
included in the database overview when you import the photo from the camera.
