mentary audio track so that it is highlighted in
blue. Scroll the volume slider to the right so that

Click "
Create
" and the overall soundtrack will
be created. With the above changes finished, the
commentary becomes louder and the music quie-
ter so that the commentary can be heard more
clearly.
Clicking on the Play button plays the storyboard
from the active video scene with audio. The audio
level is displayed.
There are many more options in fine-tuning the
audio portion of your project but they will be
covered in subsequent tutorials. You can also read
more on audio mixing in the
reference (Chapter
5) .
Now you can exit the
Audio mix
screen.
Step 7: Finishing your first video
So, now your first video project is almost finished.
In the Main menu, click on "
Finish
".
If you have already created all the effects and
audio segments in the various submenus, then
only the function "
Choose Range " and the button
" Record to VCR " can be clicked.
Otherwise the function "
Create
" is also available,
which we will discuss below.
Decide how you would like to output. If you
choose "
Analog " and your effects have not been
completely created, then click on the button " Cre-
ate " and the Casablanca Prestige then takes care
of all the remaining necessary creation of effects/
audio. You can follow the progress in a preview
window that displays a blue progress bar and a list
of the effects as they are created.
After the calculation is finished you may click on
"
Choose Range
" so that the Range menu is ope-
ned and – in case you don‘t want to record out the
entire storyboard – you can use the
IN and OUT
buttons to specify the segment to be recorded.
Finally, click on the Play button next to the
"
Analog
" button. You are requested to switch the
video recorder to recording mode. Clicking on
"
Ok " activates recording out.
If you want to record out to a DV device, choose
"
DV " next to " Record to VCR ”. After you have
created all effects (see above) – click on the
button "
DV Recorder Controls " causing the
corresponding DV operating panel to appear.
The top row of buttons control the DV device,
the lower Play button makes the Prestige start
playing your video project and start the DV
device recording. Now select the desired position
on the DV tape before starting recording out with
a click on the lower "
Play " button. No picture is
displayed while recording out!
Of course, you can also burn your finished video
onto DVD. Select the program "
DVD Arabesk
"
in the list in the lower-left screen and click to the
right on the option "
Launch program ". You are
now in the DVD menu. You can read the reference
section "
5.6 Finish " to find out how to use DVD
Arabesk.
So, this short tutorial is over. The examples that
follow, "
Insert editing ", " Audio mixing ", and
"
Titling 1 and 2
", will explore some of the things
that we have only mentioned up to now.
4.2 Tutorial 2: Insert editing
Now that you have become familiar with basic
editing with
Casablanca Prestige , you can
continue with more specialized tutorials.
What is the essence of modern music videos?
You hear a complete musical composition from
beginning to end. The camera is sometimes
focussed on the artist, but at other times you see
completely different scenes.
