Scene detection during video capture
The effect of these scene detection options is described
under “Automatic scene detection” on page 25. The
options that are actually available depend on the
capture device being used: not all devices support all
modes.
The first option, “Automatic scene detection based on
shooting time and date”, is available only if you are
capturing from a DV source.
Your DV camcorder records not only images and
sound, but also the time, date, and various camera
exposure settings (see your camcorder manual for more
detail). This information is termed data code, and is
transferred through the IEEE-1394 link along with the
video and audio.
Under the default setting, Studio uses the data code
information to determine when each new scene begins.
It grabs the first frame of each new scene to use as an
icon for display in the Album.
