Press view while a film is selected will glue all scenes in that film together. + +And multitrack audio dubbing +---------------------------- +Pressing enter/middle button on a film, scene or shot will take you to a multitrack dub settings menu. Here you can press record to begin a new audio dub track, you can have as many dub tracks as you need. Next time you view your shot, scene or film it will be mixed in. + +![Gonzopi UI](gonzopi-gui.jpeg) + +Control the GonzoPi with a keyboard or through the network or with physical buttons; Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right, Record, Retake, View and Remove. + +Retake +------- +After recording, press record to make next shot or press retake and you'll be filming a new take, the last take in a shot is chosen when viewing a scene or the whole film. +Hint! pressing record while browsing existing takes, shots and scenes will take you to the last shot in that scene. Pressing retake will do just that, a retake. Makes perfectly sense, right? Fiddle around with it, you'll totally get it. + +\break + +Keys +==== + +### Buttons +![Buttons](buttons.png) + +### Keyboard +![Wireless keyboard](keyboard.jpg) + +With keys up and down you change a specific setting, for example shutter speed. With keys left and right you change what settings to change. With view, you can view the last shot or if you have a specific scene highlighted the camera would automatically glue all shots together and play that scene for you, same goes for film. With remove you can remove a specific take, shot, scene or film. With the retake button you retake a bad take, this is how the camera keeps track of your good takes. The last take is always the chosen one. + +Special keys on the keyboard (CAPITAL): + +H = Hide / Show Help + +C = Copy scene/shot + +M = Move (as in cut and paste) scene/shot + +I = Insert empty, copied or cut scene/shot + +S = Screen On / Off + +Spacebar / PageUp = Rec / Stop + +PageDown = Retake + +Tab = View + +A = Hide / Show Menu + +![Gonzo Mode](gonzopi_gonzomode.jpeg) + +Menus +===== +A short explanation of all the settings and why they are where they are. + +### Film, scene, shot and take +This you don't see on other cameras because they don't care about what you're filming, however this camera does and it wants to know where you are in your filmmaking process and help put it together. Of course, this means that ***you*** have to know where you are in your filmmaking process. The idea of the workflow is: film only the essentials, check your montage on the spot and do a retake if you need to fix something rather than filming a bunch of things and fixing it later on. This will save ***you*** alot of time. + +### Dubbing +If you press enter while you've highlighted the film name or a scene you'll be entering dub settings menu. (ADD:d:1.0/o:1.0) this indicates the volume of the (d)ub to the previous (o)riginal mix. So, for example if you want the dub volume to be 50% of the previous audio, the settings would look like this (ADD:d:0.5/o:1.0). A good all-around background music volume level is only 10% so it would look like this (ADD:d:0.1/o:1.0). The other setting is fade in and out in seconds (in: 0.5) (out: 1.0) whould be half a second in and a second out. Now if you press enter while the ADD is highlighted you'll be dubbing. You can change the settings later if you come back to the menu. + +### Shutter, iso, red, blue +Shutter and iso are well know basic camera concepts. With red and blue you control the colors. If you press enter while on any of these then it will go into auto mode and if you press it again it will go back to manual mode with the current auto settings. I'm using this feature to quickly find a reasonable good value before I'm locking and tuning the settings manually to my likings. Cuz you always will know better than the robots! + +### Bright, cont, sat +Color grade on the go with brightness, contrast and saturation. You will probably have to play with theses to figure out what you want. Remember that as you're making your film ready while you're shooting it take by take, there's no color grading later on so you'll have to settle on your color grade before you film. To get that good old spaghetti western look go with the contrast at -19. + +### Flip, beep, lenght +If you go gonzo, flippin it is the way to go! beep is a countdown timer from the moment you press rec or retake to when it actually starts filming. Lenght let's you put in the lenght of your take before you actually start filming. Both of these are very useful if you film action alone and can't reach for the buttons. + +### Mic, phones, comp +Control teh level of your mic and headphones. Comp is a basic compressor so your message comes across and we hear ya! it's quite harsh at the moment but I like it when it goes craking up abit like in the good old 70s cinema. + +### Timelapse +Do a timelapse when you need to tell about time. There's an under menu here where you can choose the intervall of the takes, now this isn't really a traditional timelapse, it will instead do a 0.2 sec video at each intervall or it can be set to your likings but 0.2 is good for a traditional timelapse effect. At the bottom of the screen is a calculation of how long the clip will be if you do the timelapse for an hour. I'd say don't over do it! a 10 - 20 sec clip is already quite a stretch but its up to you, you're the movie film director. + +### Lens +A future implementation of lens shade correction will come where you get to do your own lens corrections to get those colors right on the spot! + +### Dsk, shutdown, srv, wifi +Disk space, showing you how much of space left on your sd card. Shutdown, when your really done! it's good to do this before cutting the power or otherwise there's a small chance of sd card corruption. Srv is a network server, if your connected to a network and put this on you should be able to go to any browser on any device and watch your movie films (that is if you've rendered them first), just go to http://gonzopi.local or it might be that you have to know the ip address of your gonzopi (you'll find it when you've connected it. Press enter on wifi. There it is on the bottom of the screen, looks like this 192.168.1.105). If you press enter on wifi you will be transported to a glorious program called Wicd curses, here you really need to have a keyboard to set up your connections. Hints are down on the screen what buttons to press. To get back into Gonzopi press "q". + +### Update and upload +Update the camera to the most exclusive version, this is still pretty much a-work-in-progress and as a warnign expect some bugs! don't worry I'll be improving things but it takes time. Upload your film to the web, there is a youtube uploader mod you can install but you'll have to do some configs to make it work for you. Details coming soon. Reach out to the matrix room if you're in a hurry.. + +to get the youtube api secrets `wget https://gonzopi.org/yt/.client_secrets.json` + +### Backup +It's good to always backup your stuff! Plug in your usb drive and just press enter and sit back and relax as the wonderful work of computer copying does the magic. While you're at it open a beer cuz it can take quite a while if you got much stuff on there. Now, this should be working on almost all hard drives but there are some that still use a very old file system called fat, and its as lazy as its given name and doesnt store critical information we would want, because we want the copying to only copy our new takes or retakes. So please use new drives like ntfs systems or ext or whatever they all are called. You'll find all your takes even the shitty ones on your harddrive in a directory called /gonzopifilms/. One more thing, there are some drives that are very power hungry and doesnt come with it's own power source, now these drives are very bad for this particular use because the Gonzopi has limited amounts of power for usb use, so to be sure it's gonna work, use powered hard drives that has got a power cord. + +### Load and new +You can have many on going films, load em up or start as many films as you like. + +------------------------------ + +### [Building, repairing & modding] +1.
