recording date and time. In a captured DV AVI file, scenes can be separated into
several files based on the footage's recording date and time or by changes in the
content of the video. In an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file, scenes are separated into files
based on content changes.
Seamless Capture
As a workaround to the 4 GB capture file size limitation in Windows systems that
use the FAT 32 file system (such as Windows 98 and Windows Me), Ulead
VideoStudio automatically saves captured video as a new file when this limitation
has been reached. This method, known as seamless capture, allows the capturing
process to be performed uninterrupted no matter how long the footage is.
VideoStudio performs seamless capture when capturing DV Type-1 or DV Type-2
(from DV camcorder), or when capturing MPEG video (from DV camcorder or
analog capture device).
Windows systems such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP that are installed using
the NTFS file system do not have the 4 GB limitation.
SmartRender
SmartRender technology renders only project changes, eliminating the need to re-
render whole projects and enabling fast previewing.
Split by Scene
This feature automatically splits up different scenes into individual files. In Ulead
VideoStudio, the way scenes are detected depends on which step you are in. In the
Capture Step, Split by Scene detects individual scenes based on the original
footage's recording date and time. In the Edit Step, if Split by Scene is applied to a
DV AVI file, scenes can be detected in two ways: by the recording date and time,
or by the changes in the content of the video. Whereas in an MPEG file, scenes are
detected only based on the content changes.
Storyboard
A storyboard is a visual representation of your movie. Individual clips are
represented as image thumbnails on the Timeline.
Streaming
This is a relatively new Internet technology that allows large files to be played as
they are being downloaded. Streaming is commonly used for large video and audio
files.
