Editing Video Using a Storyboard

You can edit multiple assets using a storyboard.

  1. Select an asset to add to a storyboard in the asset list of the [Asset] screen, and click the (Create Storyboard) button.

    In the preview area, click the (Menu) button and select [Create storyboard from clip].

  2. Enter a name, description, and start timecode for the storyboard in the dialog, select the timebase for the storyboard, and click [OK].

    Note

    • The frame rate of the selected asset(s) becomes the frame rate of the storyboard.

    The storyboard preview and timeline appear.

  3. Select another asset you want to add to the storyboard in the asset list.
    The preview of the asset appears.
  4. Drag & drop the asset into the timeline, or click the (Menu) button in the preview area and select [Add to current storyboard].

    The asset is added to the timeline.

    Note

    • Each asset added to the same storyboard must have the same frame rate.
  5. Select an asset on the timeline, mark In-point/Out-points in the preview area, and add essence marks and subtitles as required.

    Note

    • You can select the title of a storyboard on the timeline to preview and play the whole storyboard.
  6. When finished editing, select [Export] from the timeline context menu.
  7. Select an export destination on the [Render] tab of the displayed dialog and specify the title credits on the [Credits] tab.

    Note

    • The bit rate value displayed for the content selected in [Video Preset] is a guideline. The bit rate may not match the actual export result.
    • Up to five title credits can be specified. Specify a title (text) to be inserted, credits start timecode, duration, fade-in, and fade-out for each title credit.
    • You can also add a watermark. To use a watermark, it must be configured beforehand on the [Watermark Preset] page of the [Settings] screen.
  8. Click the [Export] button.
  9. Click the [Finish] button.

To edit an EDL in a non-linear editor

When finished editing, select [Export EDL] from the timeline context menu, and select the EDL format and delivery type in the displayed dialog.

To transfer via FTP, select the FTP server for transfer. When transferring high-resolution video, you can also set the number of seconds for pre-roll/post-roll.

Note

  • To transfer high-resolution video, the camcorder on which the target asset is stored must be online.
  • Just as for the file transfer function, only an FTP server configured beforehand on the camcorder can be specified as the transfer destination for high-resolution video.
  • For PXW-Z280/Z190/FX9/Z750/Z450/X400 camcorders, the FTP server registered in C3 Portal is also displayed as the file transfer destination for high-resolution video.
