Split by Scene

Use the Split by Scene feature in the Edit Step to detect different scenes in a video
file and automatically break it down into several clip files.
The way VideoStudio detects scenes depends on the type of video file. In a
captured DV AVI file, scenes can be detected in two ways:
• DV Recording Time Scan detects scenes according to their shooting date
and time.
• Frame Content detects content changes, such as motion change, camera
shifting, brightness change, etc., and splits them into separate files.
In an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file, scenes can only be detected based on content
changes (i.e., by Frame Content).
To use Split by Scene on a DV AVI or MPEG file:
1. Go to the Edit Step and select a captured DV AVI file or an MPEG file in the
Timeline.
2. Click Split by Scene in the Options Panel. This will open the Scenes dialog
box.
3. Choose your preferred scan method (DV Recording Time Scan or Frame
Content).
4. Click Options. In the Scene Scanning Sensitivity dialog box, drag the slider
to set the Sensitivity level. A higher value means more precision in the scene
detection.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Scan. VideoStudio then scans through the video file and lists all the
detected scenes.
7. You may merge some of the detected scenes into a single clip. Simply select all
the scenes that you want to join together then click Join. The plus sign (+) and
