more data may result when several tracks are
used.
( 6 ) Clicking on " Delete " starts a new project after
a request for confirmation. All data (video and
audio, and all effects) within the currently active
project are deleted.
All project settings can now be reset. Project
settings are fixed only after video recording or
creation has begun.
The following are not deleted:
– other edited projects
– scenes in the clipboard
– archived colors and titles
– effect modules, including those that have been
installed later
– installed fonts
– other supplementary programs
( 7 ) The " Information " button gives information
on project name, storyboard length, scenes and
effects inserted into the storyboard, and on the
total number of existing scenes.
( 8 ) This menu symbol returns you to the Main
menu , the same as clicking the right trackball
button.
5.3 Video settings
This screen allows you to correct the levels of the
incoming video signal (in terms of brightness,
contrast and saturation), and it is used for
selecting the video input.
These are settings that you can change at any
time when recording analog footage – even after
the project has been edited.
(

) You can specify here the
brightness
,
contrast
,
and color of the video material before recording.
This allows you to see the footage as it will be
digitized.
It is possible, of course, to use Image Processing
effects to make corrections to recorded video
material after input, but this involves rendering
time.
Note: The better the material has been recorded,
the better the result will be. Corrections after-the-
fact have their limits – a picture that is too dark
can never be as radiant as a picture digitized with
the correct lighting, even after using brightening
effects. Simply modify the settings until you have
attained the desired levels. When your source
material changes, e.g. when bad-weather pictures
appear, then you can simply readjust the settings.
(

) You can use "
Input
" to switch the video input
to CVBS (RCA) front , YC (S-video) front , CVBS
rear , YC rear , or DV . The unit will automatically
detect which I-link DV port you are using. It
is recommended that only one DV device be
connected to the Casablanca Prestige at any
time, or else errors may occur.
You can also add analog material, which is then
converted by
Casablanca Prestige to DV data.
Digital and analog material can be combined in
the same project.
The DV input device is automatically recognized
and marked. After you have connected the DV
recorder, you see that the input, e.g. is titled with
"
DV Sony ". In this way you can determine quickly
that the connection has been made.
( 3 ) This button allows you to move the Input
menu bar from the bottom of the screen to the
top, if needed. Click again to return to the bot-
tom.
(

) In case you want to check your video material
and don't intend to change settings at the same
time, then you can use the button to reduce the
menu to a much smaller panel. In this reduced
menu only the buttons described under item (
3 )
and the button (" video settings " menu symbol) to
redisplay the entire menu are visible.
( 5 ) Clicking on these menu symbols takes you to
the Recording menu or to the Main menu .
