Record functionality
• VS4Control One record log file is created per machine, and they are
generated once the entire recording session is stopped. The record log files
include the breakdown of events for all sources that were recorded from their
respective machines during the recording session. The location of the record
log files depend on the record path selected:
$ If the Use same path option is selected, the record log files are located in
the same machine-specific folder that contains all the video and audio
files of the inputs of that machine.
$ If the Use same path option is cleared, different folders are created for
each source recording on a machine. In this case, the record log files are
located in the session folder corresponding to Input 1 of each machine.
Event markers
You can add event markers to your video to mark an event of interest, making
that moment easy to locate. The event markers you add in VS4Recorder Pro will
be visible when you add the video to a timeline for editing in Adobe Premiere
Pro CC or CS6.
How event markers work
To create event markers, the VS4Recorder Pro application must be the active
window on your computer, and you must be recording at least one file. The event
markers are written to all captured video files.
For example, you may want to mark when a team scores in a sporting event, or a
specific crowd interaction at a concert. You can add event markers in Multi-Cam
and Independent modes, or when using VS4Control.
¦NoteEvent markers can be added to .mov, .avi, and .mp4 video files, but not
audio files.
Adding event markers to your video recording
1 Start your recording session.
2 Press asterisk (*) from any machine, Master or slave, when you see an event
of interest (the status LED will briefly turn blue).
3 Add more markers as needed.
You can now see where these events occurred in your video editing timeline in
Adobe Premiere Pro.
