appear which have the same functions as in the
Video Clipboard menu: "
Clipboard -> Project ",
"
Audio sample-> Clipboard
", and "
Delete audio
sample ".
Note: If you click on " Delete audio sample " you
will see that the "
OK
" button in the window
appearing is disabled (gray) and cannot be acti-
vated. This is a safety measure so that you won't
accidentally delete an audio sample. If you really
want to delete an audio sample, then click first on
the audio sample to be deleted (even if it is alrea-
dy shown in gray) and then on the "
OK
" button
(which is now enabled).
The audio samples are stored in the audio-samp-
les list and can be inserted into an audio track in
the "
Audio mix/Dubbing " menu.
Audio samples that you have put into the clip-
board are marked as such in the audio-samples
list.
If there is no audio sample in the audio-sample
list, then the message ("
No current audio samp-
le!
" is displayed.
The clipboard serves mainly to store audio samp-
les so that they can be used in other projects. The
clipboard can be accessed from any project.
Audio samples in the clipboard are lost when
Cas-
ablanca Prestige is turned off.
– Copy audio sample
Clicking on the " Copy " button creates an identi-
cal copy of the the previously clicked sample in
the audio-samples list to the right. This function
is useful when you want to use both the origi-
nal material and a modified version. The copy
appears in the audio-samples list with the same
name as the original, but is identified with the
suffix ".K" (e.g. "
A1.K
").
– Copy channel
As you can see under "
Mode
", this function copies
either the left channel to the right or vice versa.
– Exchange channels
This function is used to exchange the left and
right channels.
– Mono
A stereo signal is switched to mono.
– Mute
Under "
Mute
" you can turn off the sound for one
or both of the channels.
– NOP
This is a dummy operation used only by Macro-
System technicians for internal debugging.
– Sample -> Scene
Clicking on the " Sample --> Scene " button creates
a black video scene from your audio segment.
This can be used in video editing (e.g. insert).
This function can make audio editing much ea-
sier. Read more in
section 4.3
.
– Volume
The audio "
Volume
" for the selected audio sample
can be increased or reduced in the range from -20
to 6 dB.
– Volume LR
You can adapt both channels (" Left " and " Right ")
of an audio segment in the range from -20 to 6
dB.
– Width
The distance between the loudspeakers is
artificially increased. This is done with negative
channel crosstalk. You can set the "
Width " from
0-175%.
( 8 ) With the " Split " button you enter the Split
menu in which you can divide up audio segments
just like video scenes.
To the upper-right you find the name of the audio
sample with its name plus the extension "
.1
", or
" .2 ", etc. (e.g. " A 1.1 ", " A 1.2 "). You can click in
this field to call up the on-screen keyboard in
order to rename the sample.
With a click on the button "
Split position "
you can divide up the audio sample. Below the
button you see the graphical representation of
the portion to be split in the panel. In addition,
the wave form and audio scrubbing (cannot be
switched off in this menu; see also section 3.3)
show you the active position of the audio sample.
The buttons "
Use " and " Drop " have the same
function as in the " Split " menu for video material,
and the other buttons as well. Once you have split
up your audio sample, you will see in the audio-
samples list that copies have been made and that
