storage/backup. Additionally, you will be able to set a quality

setting from low to very high for a DV backup. In case of an

HD project, you will be able to set several quality levels for

the MTS mode. The maximum setting for HD projects cor-

responds to 16 Mbit/s (when using the RenderBooster) and

30 Mbit/s (without RenderBooster). Since the RenderBooster

achieves better encoding quality, lower quality levels result

in a very good image quality. However, in the ﬁlm ultimately

present data rate also depends on the video, so that there can

be variations. Click onto the ‘Backup Storyboard’ button. You

must then select the destination medium (CD/DVD, internal/

external hard-drives or Firewire hard-drive). Then click on ‘OK’

and enter the name for the Storyboard you wish to save. You

will then be requested to insert or connect the medium. If you

are using the ‘HDV’ (in a HDV project) or ‘DV’ mode, the ﬁrst

thing to happen is that the non-created effects are rendered.

If you are using the ‘DV-Backup’ mode, the footage is left

unrendered (see mode). If you are using an already burned

CD/DVD-RW BDRE, the system shall overwrite after you have

conﬁrmed a warning. This means it is not possible to store

multiple backup sessions on one medium. Please remove the

destination medium only when you get a message that the

backup was successful and when any status lights on USB

devices stop blinking. To import the Storyboard again, read

the next section.

Restore storyboard:

The function ‘Restore storyboard’

makes it possible to load the previously saved DV footage

Storyboard back into the system.

Insert the CD/DVD or connect the Firewire hard-drive and start

the process. Once the data has been loaded, the automatic

split functionality (see chapter 4.7, item (21)) will kick in but

only if you selected the ‘DV-Backup’ mode. You will then be

asked if the recovered footage is to be added to the Story-

board or to the Scene bin. Inserting the scenes to the Story-

board will also add the saved effects in between them. If you

saved your work in ‘DV’ mode, the recovered material will be

added in the form of a normal scene. Make your selection and

conﬁrm with ‘OK’ to ﬁnd out the number of scenes to be cre-

ated. Conﬁrm again and enter the Edit menu to work with the

recovered data. If you restore a backed-up HD storyboard, the

scene can again be split into separate scenes.

Mode:

The ‘Mode’ button has an ‘HDV’, ‘MTS’ (in the case

of an HDV Project), ‘DV’ and ‘DV-Backup’ setting. Before sav-

ing your Storyboard, set the option for an ‘HDV’ or ‘DV’ project

to save the entire material. Prior to saving, the all non-rendered

effects and audio is created. If you load the footage back into

the system with the ‘Restore Storyboard’ function, you will see

only one scene in the Edit menu (Scene Bin), named ‘Story-

board’.

If you use the Mode button to select the option ‘DV-backup’

before backing up the storyboard, the backup will not only

contain the footage of your DV project but also additional in-

formation. This will enable a Restore to reconstruct most of the

Storyboard: the different scenes will get their original names

again. The original sound will be restored, and the transition,

image processing and title effects will be restored with their

settings. Please note that inserts, the single audio tracks, title

texts and the settings of effects which have their own interface

can not be recovered (for example, PIP Studio). The same

goes for Insert scenes that are coupled with effects.

In ‘HDV’ projects, you can also use the ‘MTS’ mode. This

stores projects in ‘MTS’ format for play back on other compat-

ible systems.

Depending on your project, you will be able to set different

quality levels for your backup.

If you are using the RenderBooster (optional additional hard-

ware), and if it is activated and connected, you will have more

modes to select. In case of an SD project you will have the

additional modes MPEG-2, H.264 and MP4 at your disposal.

In case of an HD project, you will also be able to select the

H.264, MP4 and MP4 SD modes.

Delete backup: If you have saved your Storyboard to an ex-

ternal Firewire hard-drive, you can use the button ‘Remove’ to

remove all data of the Storyboard that was archived.

This menu symbol returns you to the Main menu, the

same as clicking the right trackball button.

4.3 Video settings

This menu ‘Video’ in the environment ﬁeld is not available

when you have activated an HD project or when you are using

hardware that has no analog inputs. This is where you can

adjust the settings for an analog video signal with respect to

brightness, contrast and color saturation, as well as the se-

lected video input, when you are editing a DV or SD project.

You need an active Silver or Gold Edition for this. You

can use this to specify the brightness, contrast, and color of

the analog video material before recording. This allows you to

see the footage as it will be digitized. This setting is not avail-

able when using DV or HD footage. It is possible, of course, to

use Image Processing effects to make corrections to recorded

video material after input, but this involves rendering time.

The better the material has been recorded, the better the result

will be. Corrections after the fact have their limits. A picture
