Stop Events - Videonics AB-1 Edit Suite User Manual

Stop Events

STOP Events are used to separate one production from another or to pause a
production to allow you to change tapes, hookups, etc.
The STOP Event shows the total running time for your production from the start
of your first Scene or Source Event to the STOP Event or—if you have more than
one STOP Event—from the previous STOP Event to the next STOP Event. The
time is in the format hours:minutes:seconds.frames.
During a Preview or Auto Record, when Edit Suite encounters a STOP Event, it
pauses the preview/record operation and beeps three times. To resume the
operation, use the up/down arrow keys to display the next Scene or Source
Event you want to preview/record, then press [PREVIEW] or [SHIFT]+[AUTO
REC] again. Edit Suite will resume the preview/record and continue until it
reaches the next STOP Event or the last event in your list.
One common use of STOP Events is to separate entire productions. Edit Suite can
hold 250 events, which for many users is enough for several small productions.
The STOP Event will give you the total running time for each of your
productions, and it provides you with an easy method of moving quickly from
production to production. The key combination [GO TO]+[SHIFT]+[up/down
arrow] moves up or down in your list of events from one STOP Event to the next
or to the top/bottom of the EDL if no more STOP Events are encountered.
Another common use of Stop Events is to bracket a series of scenes that you want
to fine-tune. This way you can preview and test-record a small part of your
production rather than the entire production.
A third use for customers who do not have a mixer or switcher is to add a STOP
Event wherever you need to change source tapes.
Ways to Create a STOP Event
