Automatic Scene Detection
Automatic Scene Detection saves you the trouble of manually dividing up your material into indi-
vidual clips.
This function is available only when digitizing
via the DV input using i.Link (IEEE 1394) (not
when logging and not via analog inputs, if any are available).
To activate this function, select [Start Menu > Control Panel > User >] Logging Tool > Properties >
General and then Use scene detection if available.
Here’s how it works:
1 Activate Scene Detection (the options are described below). Select the usual Logging Tool
settings (Rack, AV sources, clip numbering, etc.).
2 Confirm your selection and exit Properties. Start tape playback and click Digitize.
Although you cannot see it initially, the system marks each new scene.
3 Let the tape run until it reaches the desired exit point, click Digitize once again and stop
the tape.
Or you can edit an area between a mark-in and mark-out.
4 The scenes detected are stored as clips in the selected Rack and also, if Direct Insert
(
page 8-29) was activated, on the Timeline.
