Step 3: Settings
Before you begin editing, you should make your
own personal settings.
System settings
Click on the "
System Settings
" button to view
the System Settings screen. Here you can select
the "
Trackball Speed
" appropriate for you. There
is a choice of three different speeds.
Now exit this menu either by clicking the right
trackball button or by clicking on the
Main menu
symbol
(bottom right) with the left trackball
button:
Project settings
Now you can make the settings for your project.
A click on the Project Settings button leads you
to the corresponding menu.
At the upper edge you will see the the hard-drive
"
Name
" button. By clicking on the gray rectangle
the keyboard is displayed and you can enter the
name of the inserted hard drive. You can also
see which hard drive is currently in the machine
(the label on the hard drive itself is not visible
because the hard drive is contained within the
machine).
The field "
Used Capacity
" gives information on
how much of the hard drive has been filled (in
percentage) and how much space is left. Audio
and video are not distinguished.
Further below you see the "
Select
" button. After
clicking this button you see a list of several pro-
jects contained on the hard drive. Each project
can be worked on independently of the others.
But for now, click on
project 1
("
P 1
") and con-
firm with "
OK
".
Next to "
Select
" you see the field "
P 1
", which
you should now rename. Click on it to bring up
the keyboard (
section 3.2: On-screen keyboard
).
Delete the default name and enter instead "
First
tutorial
".
The button "
Information
" will bring up a menu
that gives information on the project name, sto-
ryboard length, scenes in the storyboard, chosen
effects, and number of scenes contained in the
scene bin.
Now, you must define the "
Format"
of the
project. Of you whish to playback DV footage,
you must opt for either a 4:3 or a 16:9 project. If
you video is recorded in HDV quality, you must
select the setting "
HDV
".
At this point we don‘t want to go into too much
detail on the functions and meanings of all the
settings. These will be explained in more detail
later! For now, set the
Image size
to "
Normal
".
The display, "
Used Capacity
" gives information
on the space used on the hard drive (dark blue),
and on the total remaining time (light blue). A
display for individual projects is not possible be-
cause this display refers to the entire hard drive.
Now exit this menu.
Video settings
Enter the
Video settings
(if supported) screen
and turn on your video input device. Here you
can select the appropriate input. If you using
a VCR as input device, then you will usually
use the SCART input (in Europe,) or you will
use CVBS (RCA) or YC (S-video). Of course, for
optimum quality you can use the DV input for
digital devices, if your system is provided with a
DV interface.
You will have the option to select between the
Front or Rear inputs: be sure to set this accor-
ding to how you are physically cabled from your
input device. Your Prestige will automatically
detect which DV input you are using. We recom-
mend that you only connect one DV device at a
time, or errors may occur.
Press Play on your input device, so the video
will start. If your video signal is now viewable
underneath the menu bar , you can continue by
adjusting the
Brightness, Contrast,
and
Saturati-
on
if necessary. These settings are not accessib-
le if the DV input is being used. If your DV signal
requires correction during input, use the YC
setting and cable in via S-Video and RCA audio.
Exit the menu when you are satisfied with the
picture quality.
