Videotape Editing
Two decks make editing your videos quick and easy. Choose
from the following two editing methods:
• Automatic Assembly Editing - Use this method if you
plan on making multiple or non-sequential edits. You
mark the beginning and ending points of each scene (up to
8 at a time), and your Dual-Deck VCR assembles the
scenes automatically (see below).
• Sync Editing - Use this method if you plan on making
only a few edits in sequence. You edit each scene manually
with a little help from the
Automatic Assembly Editing
Preparing an Edit List
The key to making clean, quality edits is planning. Carefully
review your source tape before you edit:
1
Insert your source tape into Deck 1.
2
Rewind the tape to the beginning.
3
Press the
key on your remote control until you see
CLK/CTR
the tape counter on the Front Panel Display.
4
Press
to reset the tape counter to zero.
CLEAR
Note: The tape counter automatically resets to 0:00:00 when
you insert a tape. Remember to rewind the source tape
and reset the counter to zero every time you insert it
to ensure consistent tape counter readings.
5
Carefully review your source tape, using the Play, Still
and Picture Search features. Think about which scenes
to include in your final copy, and which to leave out.
6
As you are doing this, write down the tape counter
positions for the beginning and ending of each scene on
the source tape, and a brief description of what is
happening in the scene.
