Chapter 4: Tutorials
We recommend working through the five tutorials
in the order given here. This offers you an intro-
duction to video editing followed by the more
specialized techniques of
Casablanca Prestige
(insert editing, audio mixing, titling, etc.).
For these tutorials we assume you are using only
one monitor (
video
mode). If you are working
in VGA mode, then you can read about eventual
changes to the user interface in
chapter 6: VGA Mode
.
4.1 Tutorial 1: A small video project
This example introduces you to the basic concepts
of editing with
Casablanca Prestige
. Special
applications and procedures are not explained
yet. In this example you will create a simple video
project. A "project" is the creation of a complete
video starting with raw footage and ending with a
finished film.
Step 1: Selecting raw footage
For this example you will use your own raw
footage. Set aside a cassette with raw footage (e.g.
video from your last vacation). You will only need
a few scenes that last a total of about 3 minutes.
Try and select interesting material so that the
project will be more fun!
Put the cassette in your video input device (e.g.
camcorder, VCR, etc.) and rewind it to the positi-
on where your selected footage begins.
Step 2: Orientation in the Main Menu screen
Turn on the
Casablanca Prestige
and wait until
the hard drive is ready. The
Main Menu
now ap-
pears offering several options for selection. There
are three main areas:
(1) Settings (above right)
Here you select settings such as trackball speed,
desired audio quality, or the current project.
(2) Video (center)
Here you will record your raw footage onto the
hard drive and then divide (
split
) it into editable
scenes. You will then edit (
trim
) the scenes and
finally put them into a new sequence in the story-
board. You will put transition effects between the
individual scenes and apply an Image Processing
effect (or filter) to one of the scenes. You will then
create a title and then finish your video project.
(3) Audio (below left)
Here you score your video with music, sound
effects or spoken commentary.
This division into logical steps makes for a clear-
ly structured work plan. If you should have any
questions during the course of work, then simply
check the
Reference Section(Chapter 5)
of this
manual – all buttons are explained there in detail.
How do you access the individual work screens?
Position the screen cursor onto the corresponding
field. Then click on it with the left trackball
button. The right trackball button cancels, or
returns you to the previous screen.
This operation requires a certain familiarity with
the
Casablanca Prestige
user interface. If these in-
structions are unfamiliar to you, please read about
the trackball in
section 3.2
and then the operating
elements in
section 3.3
