have a new number if the scene or scene name is
already present in the scene bin.
If you click (in the clipboard) on the function
"
Remove scene ", the " Remove scene from
clipboard
" menu is opened and you can select the
scene to be deleted from the clipboard. You only
have to click on "
OK " and the scene is deleted.
Note: If you click on " Remove scene " you see
that in the window displayed the " OK " button is
disabled (appears in dark gray) and thus cannot
be clicked. This is a safety measure so that you
don't accidentally delete a scene. If you really want
to delete a scene, then click
twice
on the scene to
be deleted (even if it appears in gray) and then
click on the "
OK " button that is now enabled.
The clipboard serves principally to store video
scenes temporarily in order to use then in other
projects. The clipboard can be accessed from any
project.
If you switch projects and use new project
settings, then the scenes already contained in the
clipboard are marked with an asterisk and may
not be usable. If you select one of these scenes in
order to insert it into the scene bin, the "
These
scene properties do not conform to project
settings!
" message appears.
Note:
The scenes contained in the clipboard
are deleted when you turn off your Casablanca
Prestige.
– Copy
A scene can be copied as often as desired within
the "
Edit
" menu without requiring additional
space on the hard drive. Copying also requires no
time.
You can simply select one of the scenes by clicking
on it. The outline of this scene changes to blue.
Clicking on "
Copy " creates a copy immediately.
The reason for copying is so that you can trim a
copy independently of the original.
For example, you can use several seconds of a long
take in the leader and then insert the complete
scene later at a different point in the storyboard.
Casablanca Prestige frequently creates copies au-
tomatically, (for example when splitting, inserting
into the storyboard, and when creating a special
effect (e.g. " slow motion ").
The " Copy " button is therefore meant only for the
purpose described above.
The copy appears in the scene bin and receives the
name of the original scene extended with "
.K ", for
example "vacation.K".
– Jitter
Have no fear –
Casablanca Prestige
processes
your best and most detailed material without jit-
ter. But sometimes a jitter or stroboscope effect is
desired to attain a change of pace or to give your
video an artistic note.
Simply pick a scene, select "
Special
", click on "
Jit-
ter ", then set the Still time
(still time 000.00:04 = one image remains as it is
for a length of time corresponding to four fra-
mes), and in
Type " select between " Half frame "
and " Full frame ". Now you have created a stro-
boscopic scene that has an extension " RU ". The
option "
Full Frame
" has an improved picture
quality and is recommended for scenes with little
motion. For scenes with considerable motion the
option "
Half Frame
" is recommended.
Audio is not affected by Jitter and remains syn-
chronized.
A preview of this effect is not possible. If you click
on the "
Preview " button, a white, crossed-out
circle appears.
– Quick motion
" Quick motion " works principally the same way
as slow motion, but creates a new scene that runs
faster than the original. Here you can specify a
speed-up factor between 2 and 10. Uneven values
are recommended in order to obtain full resoluti-
on. The new scene has the suffix "
ZR ". You calcu-
late the length by dividing the time of the original
scene by the specified speed-up factor.
Here, too, a preview of this effect is not possib-
le. If you click on the "
Preview " button a white,
crossed-out circle appears indicating that preview
is not possible.
– Scene --> Sample
This function copies the original audio of the ac-
tive scene contained in the scene bin to the audio
sample list of the audio menu. The new audio
sample is named the same as the video scene it
