Bogart SE 5 User manual
Image size:
S
G
Under ‘Image size’ you have the choice
among Small, Normal, Large and Complete. We advise to set
this to ‘Complete’ for use with modern HDTV screens. The
image size can be changed at anytime in the current project.
It takes effect only when applying to the calculation of effects
and titles.
Format: The ‘Format’ button provides different settings. The
settings that are made here should be adapted to the footage
that is being used.
Resolution:
S
G
This setting allows you to set the basic prop-
erty of your project. This setting will usually be in accordance
with your video footage. If you have a DV camera and want
to edit this footage, you should set the SD resolution. Should
you want to edit an HD project, the product ‘HD Video edit’
must be activated. You will then be able to choose between
the following formats 720x576, 1280x720, 1440x1080 and
1920x1080. This selection will only be available in projects that
are not yet in use. Once you have selected a format and you
have started editing, it is not possible to revert back to another
format for that project. However, it is possible to import any
footage in the current project. This footage will then be scaled
to fit the resolution of the project.
Should you be mixing footage with different aspect ratios, it
is possible that this will lead to undesired side effects inside
effects, such as a change of aspect ratio.
Aspect ratio:
S
G
This is where you indicate whether your
project should have a resolution of 4:3 or 16:9.
Interlace: Cameras which support the ‘Progressive’ func-
tion only work with 25 frames (NTSC: 30) instead of 50 fields
(NTSC: 60) or half images (interlace) per second. If you activate
one of the Progressive formats, a warning is displayed say-
ing that you should only use this setting in combination with a
Progressive Scan camera. Otherwise you could limit the use of
effects.
If you have chosen a progressive format for your project, the
system will edit with a progressive (full frame) display.
Copy:
S
G
This enables you to copy individual projects.
There are several ways to make use of such a copy:
•Savethecurrentversionofyourlm,inordertotrysome-
thing without risking losing it.
•Createseveraldifferentversionsofamovie,forexamplea
short one and a long one.
•Savea‘Startproject’tostartallnewprojectswith.Thisway,
your opening and closing credits, or your favorite background
music will always be available.
Note: It is not possible to use the ‘Copy project’ function to
combine two projects.
To copy a project, you should select the project you want to
copy in the Project menu under Project - Select. This project
should not be empty. You can now choose what parts of the
project must be included in the copy:
•Storyboard
•Scenebin
•Samples
It can be useful not to copy the storyboard if you want to cre-
ate another version on the basis of the same material. In order
to create a direct copy, all checkmarks must be set. Now you
can select the destination project. Only empty projects can be
chosen here.
Note: You must have at least one empty project in order to be
able to copy a project.
It usually doesn’t take more than a few seconds to copy a proj-
ect.
Delete: Clicking on ‘Delete’ (in the Project area) opens a win-
dow which offers the possibility to determine which areas of
the selected project can be deleted. You have three options:
‘Delete Storyboard’, ‘Delete scenes’ and ‘Delete samples’. It
is possible to select two or even all three options at the same
time. A click on the box next to the option activates or deacti-
vates that particular function.
If you choose all options, all data (video and audio, and all ef-
fects) 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:
•Othereditedprojects
•Archivedcolorsandtitles
•Effectmodules,includingthosethathavebeeninstalledlater
•Installedfonts
•Othersupplementaryprograms
If you choose only one function, merely this part of the project
will be deleted.
Information: 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
and samples.
Backup storyboard:

The ‘Backup storyboard’ function
allows you to save the DV or HDV storyboard to an external
medium. This button is only available if there are scenes in the
Storyboard. Make sure to check what the mode of the but-
