the exact point you want and then press PASTE, OUT, EXECUTE (to paste from default
clipboard 0) or PASTE, OUT, 1-9, EXECUTE (to paste from the edit clipboard)
press the OUT key, so you will see the LCD's 'REFERENCED TO' field change to SOURCE
OUT. If you wish, you may specifically move the cursor to this field and change it using the
DATA ENTRY +/- keys.
It is also possible to paste material referenced to the source material's SYNC point.
Assuming you marked a SYNC point in the source material, press PASTE, SYNC,
EXECUTE. The following will occur:
You may also paste and sync an edit from the clipboard - i.e. PASTE, SYNC, 8,
EXECUTE to paste the sync point of clipboard 8 to the current NOW time
This is similar to back-timing except that you can set the exact position you want synced,
not just the end. You may use this, for example, to sync up a music crescendo with a
dramatic point in the visuals or you may use this to back time the end of some music or
dialogue or a sound effect (some passing traffic, perhaps) so that the very end of the cue
maybe trails over into the next scene. Whatever. There are many uses for this which you
will no doubt discover for yourself.
NOTE: If you try to paste referenced to a SYNC mark and there isn't one, it will paste
referenced to the source material's IN point
2 In fact, the actual order in which you press the keys is not that important. For example, you
may press PASTE, 8, OUT, EXECUTE to paste the out time of clipboard 8 the current NOW
time or you may press PASTE, OUT, 8, EXECUTE to achieve the same effect. Similarly, the
order you press the clipboard and SYNC keys is not important.
