already created audio and the scene to be deleted
is affected, then you will receive a warning
message telling you that an audio sample will be
deleted.
( 14 ) Clicking on " Replace " causes the selected
scene in the center of the storyboard to be
replaced by the active scene in the scene bin.
This can be a completely different scene, or the
same scene with different In and Out points.
( 15 ) The " Search " button makes it possible
to find the same scene in the scene bin that is
currently selected in the storyboard (assuming
it has not been deleted or renamed). After
clicking on "
Search " the scene in the scene bin
is activated and can, for example, be trimmed
or split. (This cannot be done to a scene in the
storyboard). Finally, the scene in the storyboard
can be replaced with the newly trimmed scene.
If you have deleted the scene from the scene bin,
then after you click on "
Search " the message " The
scene was not found. Should it be re-created?
"
appears. If you then click on "Yes" and the scene
will again appear in the scene bin. This function
can be activated at any time, even after restart,
after which a deleted scene cannot normally be
re-created.

the color box.
b) Color bars
This scene creates a striped test image according
to the standard
IRE 100
(for PAL) or
IRE 92.5
(for

several seconds before each video project.

This option creates a one-color scene that is
mainly used as background for titling. Selecting
the option "

you may select the color.
