Edit Points

The VS-2000 provides a set of special markers just for editing—these markers are called
"edit points." The IN and OUT edit points define regions of data. The FROM and TO
edit points help you position phrases and regions you're moving or copying.
Use the VS-2000's Scrub feature for the most precise positioning of the now line when
you're placing edit points. Scrub is described on Page 181.
Edit Point Flags
In the playlist, each edit point is shown as a dotted line with
a flag at its top. Each point has its own flag.
The FROM point is set to the same location as the IN
point by default—you won't see its flag when it's behind
the IN flag. You can manually move the FROM point to a
different location, as described in this chapter.
IN and OUT
In region editing, the process begins with selecting the portion of the project you want
to edit. You define this time range by placing the IN and OUT edit points:
This edit point:
IN
OUT
You should never place your OUT edit point at an earlier location in the project than
your IN edit point.
FROM and TO
Whenever you move or copy a phrase or region, you begin by designating a specific
reference point within the phrase or region—a "time anchor," if you will. (The
VS-2000 does this for you automatically, as described below.) This anchor can be the
beginning of the phrase or region, or it can be an event somewhere in the middle of it.
When you select a location to which you want to move or copy a phrase or region, what
you're really doing is selecting a location to which you want to move or copy its anchor.
This edit point:
FROM
TO
Most often when you move or copy a phrase or region, you'll want to place the front of
the moved or copied data at the desired time destination.
