Smart Edit 9 Addition to the manual
Formats
In Smart Edit 9, you can no longer only choose between SD
(DV) and HDV projects, but you can now adjust your HDV
projects best suited to your camera or the medium you want to
use to display your project.
The settings of a project will be displayed after you have
clicked on the Format button. This is where you define the
properties of your project.
Note: As usual, you can only set the format for new or com-
pletely empty projects.
It is now possible to create HD projects in the following resolu-
tions: 1440x1080 and 1280x720.
In addition to the resolution, you can set the aspect ratio. You
may choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Once you close the set-
tings by clicking OK, they will be displayed as text, to the right
of the Format button.
The table below contains an overview of common resolution
and aspect ratio combinations, and when they are used. You
should try to adapt the resolution of a project to the camera
you use the most.
Copying projects
The ability to copy individual projects is a major innovation in
Smart Edit 9. There are several ways to make use of such a
copy:
• Saving the current version of your lm, in order to try some-
thing, without risking losing it
• Creating several different versions of a movie, for example a
short one and a long one
• Saving a „Start project“ to start all new projects with. This
way, your opening and closing credits, or your favorite back-
ground music will always be available.
Note: It is not possible to use the „Copy project“ function to
combine two projects.
The setting „A/V asynchronity“ is new. This allows to adjust
the synchronization between image and sound. This setting
only influences the display of footage with the device. It has
no effect when burning on DVD or exporting to tape. It can
be necessary to use this setting to adjust the time difference
between the sound and the image when you play the sound
on another device than the image (for example via a monitor
and a separate amplifier). Many monitors need a short time to
display the video. In case you are listening to the sound via
headphones or a sound system, this can lead to a minimal, but
irritating timing difference. In order to adjust the time difference
during playback, you should do the following:
• In case your sound comes before the image, e.g. in case the
sound of a closing door can be heard before you see it, you
should move the slider to the right (positive direction)
• If, on the contrary, you see the image before you hear the
corresponding sound, you should compensate by moving
the slider to the left (negative direction)
