1. The Time record mode will begin to digitize full motion video and audio when you click on the Record button and stop auto matically after the length of time that you have selected has been recorded This is useful if you are putting together a series of specifically timed cuts and do not want to trim each piece indi vidually The Photo record mode will digitize a few frames of video when you hit the record button and then create a clip that repeats those frames for the length of time that you have select ed This is useful for people who do photo montages and wish to load in a number of specifically timed clips that will not need to be trimmed individually Note Make sure that the shot that you are digitizing does not have much motion in it or the final clip will appear to flash when played back r e c o r d s c r e e n 4 1 c h a p t e r f o u r e d i t s c r e e n Edit screen The Edit screen is where you re likely to spend most of your time when editing a video It is here that you ll make changes to your scenes and build your project in the storyboard Click the Edit button on the Main screen to enter the Edit screen The top portion of this screen contains the storyboard and the bottom half features the scene bin You will see a series of small framed pictures in the scene bin these small icons are representations of your recorded scenes Every scene you record on the Kron will appear in this ar

A high rate 10 leads to an extremely slow version 10 times the length of the original while the lowest rate 2 creates a scene that s only twice as long as the original The scene s original sound is also played in slow motion but you can mute it in the audio mix screen once the scene is added to the Storyboard The new slow motion scene will appear in your scene bin with the suffix _SM indicating that it is a slow motion scene Scene gt sample This option creates an audio sample like a sound bite from a scene s audio making it possible for you to use the audio sample elsewhere in your movie Once you select a scene and click this button the scene s sound will appear in the list of audio samples in the Audio record and Audio mix screens From there you can work with it as you would with any other audio sample Still scene The Kron can create perfectly stable still shots from any point in any scene Select a scene and the first frame will become a still once you click on the Still button If you want a still of a frame that s located further into the scene you can make a copy of the original scene then trim it down so that the precise frame that you want is the starting point Note that a still frame does not have sound Image processing effects Each of the remaining effects such as Binarizer can also be found within the Image Processing screen Each of these effects will have its own set of

This lets you know at a glance that this is your backwards scene Note that both the video and the sound is affected when the back wards effect is applied to the scene You can always mute the audio in the Audio Mix screen once the scene is added to the sto ryboard We ll talk more about Audio mixing in Chapter 10 Jitter To create a jittery strobe effect select the Jitter option and adjust the slider to set just how long the Kron should hold each frame A setting of 4 means that one frame will stay on the screen while the next four frames are skipped A setting of 3 means that the first frame is held and the next three frames are skipped and so on There is no preview available for this effect 4 10 e d i t s c r e e n c h a p t e r f o u r Quick motion This will generate a new scene that s a sped up version of a video clip Once you select a scene and the Quick motion button you need to set an acceleration factor two times as fast three times as fast and so on then click the OK button Once the scene has been created the new scene will appear in your scene bin bearing the suffix _QM indicating that it is a quick motion scene To improve your res olution use lesser values There is no preview available for this effect Slow motion This option creates a scene copy that is identical to the original except that it runs more slowly The slowness rate or Delay can be set with the slider
