CASABLANCA SMART EDIT 7.0 - Official Announcement: October 18, 2007 - Chet Davis SE7 Demonstration to our group: November 7, 2007 - Software Release: November 19, 2007 View and/or Download: SE7 Quick Start Guide
SMART EDIT 7 New Features Smart Edit 7 is the new reference for editing and creating videos with Casablanca and Enterprise. Additionally, Smart Edit 7 provides many new and redesigned functions, the most important have been summed up in the following text. More precise descriptions and instructions can be found in the relevant chapters:
System Settings Under Additional Settings, youll find new options for finding cut information and time code display. The cut position recognition has been specifically developed for HDV footage that is transferred to Smart Edit from the camcorder in the form of a DV signal.
Record The Record menu now sports two additional modes. The mode Fast M. allows for extreme fast motion recordings. The Stop M. mode on the other hand, is designed for recording animations and creating special effects.
Edit Menu The screen resolution can now be set up to a value of 1920 x1200 pixels (depending on the technical limitations of the used Casablanca type). In addition, the scenes in the scene bin are arranged in multiple rows (instead of one long row of scenes), if a resolution of more than 1024x768 is used. This allows for displaying far more simultaneous scenes on the screen.
Group Structure To allow for more structure and organization in the Edit menu, you can now create and modify groups of scenes. You can create group names and either display or hide particular scene groups.
Reference Images The reference image that is used to represent a scene in the bin can now be changed to any frame contained in that particular scene.
Loop Mode For Preview The loop mode for the preview has been expanded with an additional option. Effects that only develop later in the movement can be monitored and better optimized.
Split Scene When splitting a scene, you can use the multiple image display to have a better comparison. You can now see the images before and after a splitting position.
Trim Scene The multiple image display can also be used in the Trim menu. You can see the first or last frame of the scene, but also the frames just before and after the currently trimmed section.
