Bogart SE 5 User manual
It is also possible to automatically insert or remove several ef-
fects in the storyboard.
Add automatically: This first leads you to a selection where you
can select if you want to automatically insert or remove transi-
tion effects from the current position in the storyboard.
These functions are particularly interesting for slide shows
or still sequences, but they can also help with normal video
projects. Select Add automatically to access the menu listing
your transition effects. You will see that these are the standard
user interface elements required to add effects to the Story-
board. You will see that these are the standard user interface
elements required to add effects to the Storyboard. There’s
the effect list and the selection for effects shown. Also, there
are the effect settings if available for that effect and the ef-
fect length. This menu is special in that it allows you to select
several effects. You can mark single effects with a tick or make
a multiple selection. These effects are then used later, in the
storyboard. Don’t forget to apply any settings for your effects.
As you can select multiple effects, there’s also an option for
choosing the mode for applying the effects in the storyboard.
Choose ‘Cyclic’ to add the effects one after the other to the
Storyboard. Once the last effect is added, the system begins
adding the first effect in the list once again. The ‘Random’
mode on the other hand, does what it implies: It adds random
effects from your selection to the Storyboard. Remember that
in such a case, sometimes the same effect may be used sev-
eral times in a row.
The effect length is set globally for all effects. You can not
enter a separate length for each effect. Therefore, all effects
added to the Storyboard in this fashion will have the same
length, unless the scene length itself prohibits this. After you
make the selection and make your settings, click onto OK to
confirm. You will be asked once more if you really want to add
these effects, as this will place all transitions in the Storyboard
from this position on. Any transitions already found in the
Storyboard shall be overwritten. Confirm with Yes to add the
effects.
Once you have applied effects to the Storyboard, it must be
possible to delete these effects in just as easily if you are
unhappy with your choice. This is why the menu following the
‘Opt’ click also contains a delete option. Click onto ‘Remove
automatically’ and confirm with ‘Yes’.

cases, you may find that a transition can’t be added any more
if a scene is already occupied by another effect.

repetition (e.g. 20x Page turn).
•Inthepositioningmenuofaneffect(e.g.rectanglefade),a
grid can also be activated, to make it easier to set the posi-
tion of a scene. Positioning by means of a raster is especially
useful when a multi-layer effect has to be created, taking into
account other existing transitions.

Loop mode for the preview: The menus ‘New’ and
‘Special’ of the scene bin in the edit menu now have a new
button: The Loop mode. You will find the same function in the
effect menus. This button opens a small menu that allows you
to select an effect for the active scene. At the same time, the
scene will be played with the effect parameters so that you can
directly see any implications of the changes you make to the
parameters. Once the end of the scene is reached, the scene
will restart and continue playing in loop mode. As soon as you
make any changes of the effect parameters, play-back will be
stopped and the scene will play from the start again. You can
work fast using the Loop mode. In addition, any effect changes
that are only visible if the scene is in motion, can be changed
