Split by scene

girly · Post by **girly** » Fri May 04, 2007 1:43 pm

I have had to reinstall VS10 and when in capture mode the split by scene option is greyed out. It didn't used to be and I don't know if I should change any of the preferences etc.

I know I can split the movie into scenes in edit mode but it was good to have the option in capture mode. Is there a reason why this is greyed out.

Thanks

What is the source of the material you are attempting to capture and how?

Split by scene *during* capture only works if you are capturing DV/AVI. If you are capturing direct to another format, it will not work. However, in the editing stage, with other formats you have the choice of splitting by scene there.

I am capturing from my camcorder to ULead as normal which I've done many times before.

The properties of the ca[tured film are MPEG2, LFF. 720 x56 16:9.

This means I have got the widescreen look (black bands at top and bottom. Is ther a way to change the format now to a full screen which I presume is 4:3. Shoud I have gone into options before capturing? Does VS10 have a default capturing mode or do you have to set your own?

Thanks

BTW I know you're running version 10 and indeed that version can only split per scene in DV/AVI format capturing... but I just played around a bit with version 11 and it splits nicely per scene using DVD/MPEG capture format

Just to let you know.

Thanks. Useful to know. Another useful feature that Steve Jones can add to his list!

Thanks

Is there any way I can change the format in my current project and not have the black lines above and below in the preview screen just the full screen. I'm not sure if I can or cannot.

If you are only worried about the black lines above and below in the preview screen, you need to know that the preview screen itself is fixed to show 4:3 full screen but 16:9 with the black stripes. It does this for everyone, as far as I am aware.

However, when you process the project and burn a DVD, the black lines are not (or should not be) there.

Burn your project to an RW disc to test it, or else to a Video_TS DVD folder and play it back with a software player...
