Edit 2


• It takes just five steps to produce a finished project on the Casablanca:
• Record your video footage to the Casablanca
• Edit and trim the footage into scenes
• Place the scenes on the storyboard
• Add transitions, effects and titles
• Edit the sound

That’s it. After rendering the effects (a single step) you save your production to tape. Your professional-quality video is a match for any made on far more complex—and costly—systems, finished in a fraction of the time.

Here are the actions that take place within the main Casablanca screens…

Main Screen

You’re almost always a click away from this main screen. When you start your project you select the quality level needed, from Beta SP to Digital formats. As well as color correction controls to adjust brightness, contrast and saturation. Then begin digitizing your video to the Casablanca’s hard drive.

Edit

Here you split your video footage into scenes by selecting the in and out points or through the Cassie's auto-scene detection feature. You may name scenes as you create them and trim them with single-frame precision. You can also add slow-motion, reverse-motion and other effects. Scenes you create are placed in the scene bin, in the lower half of the screen. You just click to add them to the storyboard, which runs along the upper half of the window, in the the scenes will appear in your completed project. You may add, change or delete scenes from the storyboard at will. You can play the entire storyboard or any selected scenes at any time with the click of a button. You may also insert scenes within scenes.

Transitions
In this window you add the effects to create transitions between scenes in the storyboard. Choose from dozens of A/B roll effects such as page-turns and picture-in-picture, and preview in real time or in full-screen mode exactly what you’re creating. You can also layer effects for thousands of combinations.

Image Processing
This screen lets you add dozens of effects to your scenes, from color adjustments to cross-waves. You can give them the appearance of old movies, posterize, soften and add many additional effects.

Titling
The Casablanca’s powerful titler (CG, or Character Generator) lets you add crisp and colorful text to your video. The text can scroll and crawl at different speeds and directions, using a variety of styles.

Audio Record
This screen lets you record audio from any source. You may record a cut from a CD, add spoken
comments, create samples, trim sounds, adjust volumes, remove voice from music, separate left and right sounds and select import sources.

Audio Mix/Dub

You can mix any audio samples created in Audio Record into the storyboard. The Time Range
function defines exactly where in the video you want each piece of audio to begin and end. You can adjust volumes on each of the three stereo audio tracks individually and combine them to create unlimited additional tracks.

Finish

Here you copy your completed work to tape. You also have the option to render all unrendered effects at this point. And that’s it. Creating quality videos has never been easier.
