Notes:
Each scene in the sequence will "cue up" - you will see several seconds
of video before the scene actually "starts." When the scene cues up, an
on-screen status indicator will say "OUT"; when the scene starts, the on-
screen status indicator will disappear. (During the final edit, the
recording VCR will pause during the "OUT" period and record during the
"IN" period.)
As each scene ends, the on-screen status indicator will say "OUT" and
the screen will go black while the next scene in the sequence is located
on the playback tape.
d) If you selected "Calibration" for any scenes in the Project Sub-Mode, those
scenes will pause at their "IN" points. You can then make frame-by-frame
adjustments to each scene's "IN" point by pressing the "FWD" and "REV" keys.
After making the adjustments, continue the preview by pressing the "PLAY"
key.
e) "Append Tape" lets you to record more than one EDL onto your final video tape.
After the last scene in the first EDL sequence has ended, the recording VCR will
pause and the screen will say "INSERT TAPE NO. (EDL tape 1, 2, 3 or 4) INTO
SOURCE (A or B) PLAYER". After inserting the new source tape, press the "IN" key
to continue the preview.
f) If you are using two synchronous sources and have inserted Source B scenes
within Source A scenes, the recording VCR will pause at every A/B and B/A
transition, and the screen will say "INSERT TAPE NO. (EDL tape 1, 2, 3 or 4) INTO
SOURCE (A or B) PLAYER". When the proper source tape is in place, press the
"IN" key to continue the preview.
Note: if your source player is NOT using an editing time code (RCTC or VITC):
in steps "e" and "f" above, when you insert a new source tape, you
must rewind the tape and reset the source's tape counter. (If your
source does have an RCTC or VITC edit time code, you do not need to
rewind the tape and reset the source's tape counter.)
g) At the end of the Preview, the screen will say "PREVIEW END". Press the "SUB
MODE" key to return to the Record Sub-Mode menu.
Note: during the Preview, you may notice that some scenes have imperfect
transitions (they may start or end too early or too late). You can adjust
these IN and OUT points frame-by-frame by returning to scene while still
in EDL MODE (so you won't have to go through the entire Preview
process again).
