When using scene detection, please note:
if required, use the Sensitivity slider to increase or decrease scene detection
sensitivity. Doing this may yield an increased or decreased number of scenes
that are detected. Click to redetect the scenes in the video clip. You are
asked to confirm the clearing of the previously detected clips and then the
updated scenes are detected and displayed in the Scenes panel.
click on the button to configure the Advanced Scene Detection Settings. If
the selected video clip is a DV-AVI file, you have the option to Detect by
change of video frame (used on all other file formats) or Detect by change of
timecodes (i.e.: time codes are automatically set when you start and stop
recording). Select the Disable preview during detection option to speed up
the detection process if you find your computer runs slow during the
process.
to stop the scene detection process before completion, click stop button on
the playback controls.
to detect scenes manually, drag the slider (in Clip mode) to the beginning of
each new scene and then click .
to preview a detected scene, just select it in the Scenes panel (ensure Segment
is selected) and then click the play button.
to view all the detected scene markers on the clip timeline, ensure that Clip is
selected.
to merge two or more detected scenes into one longer scene, select them in
the Scenes panel and then click Merge. Click Remove All if you want to
restore the clip to the original.
You can add the individual scenes to the timeline or manage them in the media
library like any other video clip.
Video clips that contain detected scenes show a small folder icon in the lower right
corner of the clip when displayed in the media library. To display a clip’s scenes,
click the folder icon.
