AVI clip that contains multiple time codes (i.e.: time codes
are automatically set when you start and stop recording) and
you wish to split up your clip in this manner, select Detect by
changing of timecodes. Otherwise, use Detect by changing
of video frames.
5. Locate the position at which you would like to begin detecting
scenes. You may do this in one of the following ways:
• Use the playback buttons.
• Drag the time slider.
• Enter a timecode.
6. Click Detect. The video clip plays in the Preview Window from
the point you have set.
• To set scenes manually, click Split instead of Detect.
• To stop the scene detection process before completion, click
Stop or press the <Esc> key.
• After the original scene detection, you may further detect
scenes within a newly generated scene. To detect scenes
manually (including changing detection sensitivity), select a
scene, then repeat the steps for detecting scenes. To detect
scenes automatically, right-click a scene and select Detect
again from this scene.
• To remove a scene after detection, right-click the scene and
select Remove scene.
7. Click OK to close the Scene Detection window.
• To return to the Library, click Up One Level.
Clips created by the new scenes are displayed in a subfolder under
the original video clip. They can be added to the workspace and
managed in the Library like any other video clip.
Video clips that contain detected scenes show a small
folder icon in the lower right-hand corner of the clip
when displayed in the Library. To display a clip’s
scenes, click the folder icon.
