In the background you will see your video.
An operating panel in the foreground displays
(after the recording is stopped) the name of the
scene, the recording time, and the approximate
remaining time available on the hard drive.
If you have connected a DV device for input
through the i-Link interface, then you can use
the five buttons in the lower part of the operating
panel for
DV control . Note that not every DV
device is compatible, but you will find that most
are.
Seen from left to right on the DV control panel,
you can:
stop
playing the DV tape,
play
the DV
tape, pause , rewind , and fast forward .
Rewind and fast forward each have three different
modes. Fast rewind or fast forward results if the
button is pressed while the recorder is stopped.
Viewable slow rewind or slow forward results if
the button is pressed while DV unit is playing.
Clicking the button while the DV unit is in pause
mode moves a single frame backward or forward.
The selection button "
Mode
" offers three options,
but for this exercise leave it set to " Normal ".
With the button in the lower-left corner (arrows
facing each other) you have the option to move
the panel to the lower screen edge . With the
button on top of that you can reduce the panel
size to the functions for reinstating the larger
panel (the
Record menu symbol) and for moving
the panel.
The four menu symbols in the lower right corner
take you to the
Edit
,
Record/Edit
,
Video settings
,
and to the Main menu screens.
Now wait until an scene you wish to load is
reached. Clicking the record symbol causes the
Prestige to begin recording.
As soon as recording begins, the current panel is
replaced with a smaller one that displays only the
elapsed recording time and a stop symbol. You
can see that
Casablanca Prestige
is actually recor-
ding because of the changing recording time.
Now record a few minutes of video, preferably
containing 4 or 5 different scenes. Then press the
stop symbol. Your first recording is now stored on
the hard drive.
Now record a few more scenes. Do this as
described above. The recorded scenes are at
first automatically titled with "S 1", "S 2", etc. To
change the name (e.g. to "vacation") click on this
field immediately after recording to bring up the
keyboard where you can enter your text.
Stop the input device and then exit the "
Record "
menu.
Editing
Now go to the Edit screen. Here you see the
Scene Bin in the lower half of the screen. The
Scene Bin contains a sequence of small pictures
("thumbnails") showing your recorded scenes.
Casablanca Prestige holds all created individual
scenes that are ready for editing in this bin. You
can see up to eleven entire scenes at one glance
in video mode. For more you must scroll the
horizontal slider below the scene bin to access
following scenes.
You can also use the arrow buttons to the right of
the slider to step through the scenes forward or
backward one by one, or to jump to the beginning
or end of the scene bin.
In case you have not already renamed the scenes
in the "
Record
" menu, then you again have the
chance here to give the scenes your own names. To
do this, position the desired scene in the center of
the panel so that is displayed larger than the rest
and the length of the scene can be seen displayed
directly above it. (Scroll through the scene bin
or click directly on the desired scene so that it is
moved directly to the middle "selected" position.)
Now click on the "
Rename " button (below left) to
call up the keyboard.
Each scene can now be viewed or edited from this
menu as soon as it has been brought to the midd-
le of the
Scene bin
. Once there it is the
selected
scene , and it is slightly larger than the other sce-
nes in the Scene Bin .
