Bogart SE 5 User manual
(10) Clicking on the ‘Preview’ button opens a small screen in
which the video plus the effect runs. In this way you can judge
and perhaps make corrections (for color, intensity, time, etc.)
to the effect before creating it. The running time of the preview
will correspond approximately to the time of the calculated
effect.
The duration of the preview is approximately that of the final
version. The preview may be a little ‘jittery’ because it does not
work at the normal frame rate. This will not occur in the cre-
ated effect. A preview does not require any hard-drive space.
(11) After you have inserted an Image Processing effect and
perhaps specified its range, you can click on ‘Full Size’ (In the
Basic Edition, you do not dispose of all functions. Complete
functionality is only available in the Gold Edition) to bring up
an additional menu. In the background you see the middle
frame of the entire segment for the inserted image processing
effect (if the effect is applied on the entire scene, then you will
see the middle frame of the video scene). The video image is
superimposed by an operating panel in which you can see the
effect options (if available) on the right side. The button ‘Dis-
play’ below allows you to select from different display modes,
which can help you to check an effect more precisely. De-
pending on the selected effect, it may be useful to change the
display mode. ‘Original’ (shows the just selected new scene).
‘Compare’ halves the image, with the right screen half showing
your new scene and the left any scene that you can choose
using the ‘Choose scene’ button (below) from the scene bin.
The compare function can therefore be used to adapt the color
tone of your scene to an already present scene.
‘O+E center’, unlike ‘Orig. + Effect’, always compares the
centre part of a scene, on the left the original and on the right
together with the effect. This comparison type is suitable for
effects that appear mostly in the centre of an image.
The ‘O+E small’ display type shows you the complete origi-
nal scene compared to the effect. Both scenes are smaller
previews. However, remember you can’t see fine details in this
fashion, as opposed to larger effect previews. It can be very
useful for image processing effects, comparing the original and
the effect scene with each other. ‘C centre’ has a preview style
comparable to ‘Compare’, but in this case, the centre part of
the scene is focussed on, as the most important part of the
scene is often found in the centre. For example, if you want
to apply an image processing effect such as Color Correction
in order to adapt that scene’s color tone to other scenes, a
comparison in full size is a good solution.
‘C small’ = If however, you are fine working with a smaller
preview, you can switch it to small. This simply allows you to
compare the scene with the effect as a whole, yet in smaller
preview screens.
Tip: It is recommended to switch back and forth between the
different modes while working on the effects. This way, you can
experience the scene in its completeness.
Above the function ‘Display’ you see the ‘Frame’ slider with
which you can set the point in time of the long-term effect that
you want to view. You can use this button to specify the point
in time of the transition effect you want to see.
In this way you can observe the applied effect at any point in
time of the scene. The button does not have to be confirmed.
You can scroll slowly through this part of the scene and view it
at the same time. Of course, you can change the effect options
as you wish and thus have the possibility of directly comparing
various colors and directions. The effect options can be set
directly in this window, while watching a real-time preview. The
selection of the sliders does not have to be confirmed.
In the top left corner of the menu you will find a button with
which you can play a small preview. This will give you the abil-
ity to see the effect of your settings, which you have had so far
to assess in a single image, in a real-time preview.
The settings made in this menu are confirmed with ‘OK’ and
you are returned to the Edit menu. With ‘Cancel’ you leave the
‘Full Size’ menu without saving any changes. The arrow but-
tons serve to move the single-image menu to the top edge of
the screen.
(12) When you click on the ‘Create’ button a screen appears
in which the course of the effect can be seen as it is created.
After the creation is completed, the symbol’s outline is blue.
When you calculate an effect Bogart SE reads all individual
images from the scene in question and applies the effect to
it. The result is stored on the hard drive. This procedure takes
time and consumes hard-drive capacity. When recording data
you should always leave a small amount of hard drive capac-
ity in reserve. Depending on how often effects are used, this
should be between 2% and 10% of the video playing time.
(13) If your system supports the function ‘scene’ you can make
use of the multi-layer technique. (In the Basic Edition, there is
only a limited functionality for the creation of a scene) If you
would like to overlay several long-term effects, you at first
insert an effect into a scene and create it. Then you convert the
scene with the inserted effect into a separate scene. To do this
you click on the ‘Scene’ button so that a window appears in
which you can select the range for the new scene. The name
of the used image processing effect appears next to ‘Name’
and is given as default name for the new scene. If desired, you
can enter another name by clicking and using the keyboard
that appears.
You also see the three options ‘Effect’, ‘Effect + scene(s)’,
and ‘Range’. If you only want to convert the effect with the
previously set range into a new scene, then click on ‘Effect’.
