Split By Scene - Ulead MEDIASTUDIO PRO 8 User Manual

Split by Scene

Split by Scene allows you to separate scenes in your DV video clip into several
clips. This function is very useful when wanting to insert transition effects between
segments in a single DV video clip. It can be accessed in three different locations:
Insert Video File dialog box, right-click pop-up menu in the Production Library,
and in the right-click menu on the Timeline.
To use Split by Scene:
1. Select the DV video clip then access the Split by Scene function.
The Split by Scene option is disabled when the selected video clip does
not contain any scene information.
2. The Scenes & Recording Cuts dialog box appears.
When the different scenes of the video clip are not displayed, click Scan to
generate the scene information.
3. Preview, join, or split videos if needed.
4. When done, select the Open scenes & recording cuts as multiple clips
option.
5. Click OK. The file will then be split into multiple clips according to different
scenes.
Each separated clip is merely a trimmed version of the captured video file. Each of
the clips is not an independent file. Hence, notice that the clips all bear the same
file name indicating that they actually come from a single video file.
The Split by Scene function will be disabled when the DV clip has been
trimmed or an effect has been applied.
