Chapter 5 Operations in GUI Screens
See “Selecting thumbnails” (page 117) for more
information.
Using the expand function to find scenes
The expand function allows you to divide a
selected clip into equally sized blocks, and to
display thumbnails of the first frame in each
block. This is a quick and efficient way to review
the selected clip and search for target scenes. You
can specify 12, 144, or 1728 divisions.
Note
The maximum number of blocks may be other than 1728
when the recorded duration of the clip is short. In this
case, the frame interval of expanded thumbnails is fixed
at 1 frame. This allows you to view expanded thumbnails
at equal intervals.
See page 116 for more information about thumbnail
screen operations.
1 In the clip thumbnail screen, select the
thumbnail of the clip that contains the
scene you want to find.
2 Press the DISP SEL/EXPAND button.
The selected clip is divided into 12 blocks,
and a list appears in the expand thumbnail
screen (see page 111) with the first frame of
each block displayed as a thumbnail.
3 Select the thumbnail that you want to
expand further.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 up to twice, as
required.
Note
Thumbnails cannot be further expanded when they
already have the minimum duration (1 frame).
To return to the previous expansion level
Press the DISP SEL/EXPAND button with the
SHIFT button held down.
To display the expand thumbnail screen of the
previous or next clip
With the expand thumbnail screen still active,
press the PREV button or the NEXT button.
Using the chapter function to find scenes
Chapters are the sections between the shot marks,
Rec Start marks, and other essence marks.
Rec Start essence marks are set automatically at
the start of recording, but shot marks can be set at
any scene during recording or playback.
The chapter function allows you to display
thumbnails of the chapters in a clip.
See “Recording essence marks” (page 87) for more
information.
See page 116 for more information about thumbnail
screen operations.
1 In the clip thumbnail screen, select the
thumbnail of a clip with chapters set.
The “S” mark appears on the thumbnails of
clips with chapters set.
2 Press the HOLD/CHAPTER button.
The chapter thumbnail screen (see page 111)
appears, with thumbnails of the frames where
chapters are set.
The “S1”, “S2”, and “RS” marks on the
thumbnails indicate frames where Shot
Mark1, Shot Mark2, and Rec Start essence
marks are set.
To delete the shot mark at a chapter position
You can delete the shot mark (Shot Mark0 to Shot
Mark9) at the chapter position in the chapter
thumbnail screen. (Rec Start essence marks
cannot be deleted.)
1 In the chapter thumbnail screen, select
the thumbnail for the frame whose shot
mark you want to delete.
2 Display the Thumbnail Menu.
3 Select Delete Essence Mark.
A message appears asking if you are sure that
you want to delete the shot mark.
