Selecting the scene detection type
You can select various types of scene detection
under Setup > Capture Source.
Scene detection based on video content
In Avid Liquid, scene detection based on video
content can be found in the Clip Viewer.
With DV input only
Note the following for both Studio and Avid Liq-
uid: Scene detection based on timestamps works
only with DV material played via the DV (IEEE
1394) interface. It does not work with analog sig-
nal inputs.
Scene detection based on timestamps
In DV format, it is possible to mark the beginning
and end of recording on the tape (depending on
the type of camera). Avid Liquid uses these
markings to identify the individual clips.
Activating scene detection

With the Logging Tool open: Click the
button on the top right and select Proper-
ties > General > Automation > Scene
detection. Select Masterclips to activate
scene detection.
 Or from the menu bar: Select Edit > Set-
tings > User > Logging / Batch > and con-
tinue as described above.
Scene detection activated
After activating scene detection, start playing
back a tape in the Logging Tool and click the Digi-
tize button to begin transferring material to
the hard disk. The system continuously monitors
scene changes. When you click again to stop
capturing, it stores the detected scenes in the
Rack. With many clips detected, this may take a
while. Do not forget to stop the player.
5 Automatic Scene Detection
Scene detection saves you from having to define all the clips manually. Avid Liquid recognizes two
types: Scene detection based on DV timestamps and scene detection based on video content (although
the latter is not available in the Logging Tool).
