\subsection{Raw Image Format of Some Digital Cameras \& Probe Order}%
\label{sub:raw_image_format_digital_camera_probe_order}
-\textit{Warning: Expert Usage only.} Raw digital camera images are a special kind of image file that \CGG{} can load. Dcraw, as used by \CGG{}, is Dave Coffin’s open-source computer program which reads many raw-image formats typically produced by high-end digital cameras. Currently almost 700 of the types of cameras it recognizes are listed at:

-For example, included is the Canon Powershot SX60 (newly available in August, 2014). Because ffmpeg tries to load \textit{any and every} file if \textit{Try Ffmpeg first} is enabled. It will make an attempt to load Raw Camera files first before any other file driver gets the chance. In addition, there is the possibility that dcraw could conflict with the standard TIFF format, since it might be seen as format type \textit{tiff-pipe}. Therefore it is necessary to specifically enable CR2 and either move it to the top or disable \textit{FFMPEG\_Early} and enable \textit{FFMPEG\_late} in the \textit{Probe Order} as described in another section (\ref{sub:probe_order_loading_media} and \ref{sec:ffmpeg_early_probe_explanation}). These changed settings will be retained across \CGG{} sessions in \texttt{.bcast5}. Raw Camera mode is most likely going to be used by expert camera users.

The first screenshot in figure~\ref{fig:raw} as in \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Preferences $\rightarrow$ Playback A} Tab, shows the default checked settings of \textit{Interpolate CR2 images} and \textit{White balance CR2 images} which display the raw images in a way that you expect. However, you may want to uncheck them to ensure that no program manipulation has modified your images so that you can add plugins or make your own modifications. Unchecked indicates that the images are as closest as possible to unadulterated raw.
\vspace{1ex} \noindent To load a file, you will need to:
\begin{enumerate}
- \item set a directory path
- \item pick a file selection
- \item choose a selection strategy for loading the file
+ \item set a directory path in the Directory input box
+ \item choose a file or set of files by highlighting your selection
+ \item select an insertion strategy for loading the file
\end{enumerate}
\noindent Once you have completed making your choices and clicking OK or Apply, by default three things occur:
\item[Append in new tracks:] the current project is not deleted and new tracks are created for the source, one set of tracks for each file. New resources are created in the Resources Window. Files go down tracks.
\item[Concatenate to existing tracks:] the current project is not deleted and new files are concatenated to the existing armed tracks, inserted in the same set of tracks of the current project, one after another, in alphanumeric order, starting at the end of the tracks. If the current project has more tracks than the source, the source file will be inserted in the first set of armed tracks. If no tracks are armed, no files will be inserted. New resources are created in the Resources Window.
\item[Paste at insertion point:] the file is pasted into the timeline at the insertion point, on the first set of armed tracks. If multiple files are selected for loading, they will be inserted on the same set of tracks, one after the other. New resources are created in the Resources Window.
- \item[Create new resources only:] the timeline is unchanged and new resources are created in the Resources Window only.description
+ \item[Create new resources only:] the timeline is unchanged and new resources are created in the Resources Window only.
\item[Nest sequence:] nested assets are added to the timeline by using the Nest sequence insertion strategy.
- The file will be pasted into the timeline over the current selection or at the insertion point. A nested sequence is media that had already been saved as an EDL earlier. See the section on Nesting.description
+ The file will be pasted into the timeline over the current selection or at the insertion point. A nested sequence is media that had already been saved as an EDL earlier. Nesting is described more fully in section \ref{sub:nesting}.
\end{description}
The insertion strategy is a recurring option in many of \CGG{}'s functions. In each place the options do the same thing. If you load files by passing command line arguments to \CGG{}, the files are loaded with \textit{Replace current project} by default.
\item[Loading Multiple Files] In the Load dialog go to the list of files. Selecting files utilizes the motif style selection method.

-The order change will not take effect until you click on the checkmark in both the Probes window and the Preferences window. When you click on the FF button, which is in the upper right-hand corner of the main page to change \textit{Try FFMpeg first/last}, enabling of FFMPEG\_Late or FFMPEG\_Early will be toggled automatically in Probes to match that choice but does NOT change its position in the table. Be sure to only click on the FF button without the Preference/Probes window up to avoid unexpected results. It is also recommended to leave FFMPEG\_Early/FFMPEG\_Late close to the top/bottom positions. There is one case where you may want to disable all of the probes if you want to force PCM -- Pulse Code Modulator. This code is always run when all other probes fail.

\subsection{Program Selection Support after Load}%
\label{sub:program_selection_support_load}
When \CGG{} saves a file, it saves the EDL of the current project but does not save any media, instead just pointers to the original media files. For each media file, the XML file stores either an absolute path or just the relative path. If the media is in the same directory as the XML file, a relative path is saved. If it is in a different directory, an absolute path is saved.
You have to be careful when moving files around to avoid breaking the media linkages. You can keep the media and the XML file in the same directory forever and freely move the whole directory, since relative paths are saved. Alternatively you can save the XML file in a different directory than the media but then you can't move the media. In this case you can freely move your XML file around, since absolute paths are saved. If you saved your XML file in the same directory as your media but you would like to move location, you can change the paths from relative to absolute by going
-to \texttt{File $\rightarrow$ Save as}$\dots$ and entering the new location. Similarly if you saved your project outside your media directory but you would like to move your media to another location, you can change the paths from absolute to relative by going to \textit{File $\rightarrow$ Save as}\dots and saving your XML file in the same directory as the media.

Similarly if you saved your project outside your media directory but you would like to move your media to another location, you can change the paths from absolute to relative by going to \texttt{File $\rightarrow$ Save as}\dots and saving your XML file in the same directory as the media.
You can also repair broken media linkage by editing the XML file in a text editor. For every media you moved, search for the old path and replace it with the new one. You should make a backup copy of your XML file before editing. You can also replace the path of every asset whose source file you moved also within the program, by entering the new location in the Asset info window. To open this window, right click on the asset in the Resources window and choose Info\dots in the popup menu. Directly type the path in the first field of the dialog or click on the magnifier on the right to browse your files. Operating
from the GUI is convenient only when a very small number of changes is needed.
\item only session data is backed up (not program feature setup)
\item the files backup.xml and backup.prev will operate the same as before so that if there is a crash, you
will want to use \texttt{File $\rightarrow$ Load backup} in order to continue where you were interrupted.
- \item to start \CGG{} without using your Perpetual session data even if enabled, use your\_cinelerra\_path\texttt{/cin/bin -S}
