TRIMMING POST

Trimming the POST cue's IN time is exactly the same as trimming PRE except that you
are working on the start of a cue. To select POST, press TRIM to receive the 'trim entry'
page:
As the prompt suggests, you should locate to the start point of the cue you wish to trim
and then press IN. If you have not lined up the start on the NOW time (or within ten
seconds of it), you will receive the prompt:
You should act accordingly.
Assuming the start of the cue you wish to trim is lined up on the NOW line or within ten
seconds of it, when you press OUT, you will receive this screen:
The top line of the screen reads TRIM POST and the POST block is highlighted for further
visual indication. On the external monitor screen, the selected cue will be highlighted
ochre. You will notice that the SLIP and TRIM soft keys have moved as these are now
used with the POST cue (you will see the relevance of them moving when we come to
look at SPLICE).
Operation is basically identical to trimming PRE. You can use the jog wheel to extend or
reduce the length of the cue. As you jog, so you will hear the audio. You can also use the
DATA ENTRY or numeric keypad's +/- keys to 'nudge' the trim point. The amount by which
the trim will be nudged by these keys is set in the TRIM SET page.
The result would be this:
As with trimming PRE, there is a limit to the amount you can trim a cue. Of course, you
cannot extend it beyond the range of the original audio associated with the cue.
