EDITING - 14
NOTE: The graphic representation on the LCD is just that - a representation. It does not
actually display the actual cue you are editing but is there to show which type of trim you
are performing.
When turning the jog wheel clockwise (or using either of the '+' keys), once you reach the
limits of the cue's original source audio, you will receive this prompt:
This indicates that there is no more audio to extend.
Similarly, when jogging clockwise (or using either of the '+' keys), if you extend the cue's
end over the start of the next cue, when the overlap limit set in the TRIM SET page is
exceeded - i.e.:
OVERLAP
you will receive the same prompt.
When jogging counter-clockwise (or using either of the '-' keys), when you hit the start of
the cue you are trimming - i.e.:
you will receive the same prompt.
NOTE: You cannot trim back further than the cue's start point even if there may be audio
beyond it. To extend the cue's start point, you must line it up on the NOW time and select
TRIM POST - see below.
However, even if you do trim right the way back to the start of a cue, the DD1500 will leave
just enough so that you can come back to this cue and trim it again, extending the cue's
end point to reveal the original audio. When you do this, the cue will be indicated on the
external monitor by a single black line. You will note, however, that this black line may only
be visible when you have zoomed in horizontally quite a bit.
