Notes
• If an assemble edit command is received while
maintenance menu item M393: AUDIO DSP is set to
"AGC/limiter", the unit creates a new clip and performs
normal recording.
• Compared to linear editing on VTRs, a longer time is
required for processing at the end of an edit (from 4 to 5
seconds are required for completion of the edit after
passing the Out point).
When an insert edit finishes
Do one of the following.
• Wait until the unit enters standby off mode (the time
until the unit enters standby off mode depends on the
setting of setup menu item 501 STILL TIMER).
• Eject the disc.
File system information is written to the disc.
Note
If you turn the unit's primary power off before doing one
of the above, file system information is not recorded to the
disc. As a result, no additional edits can be made on the
edited clip, and the audio is set to non audio.
Essence marks recorded by clip editing
"CUT" is recorded as an essence mark at the IN and OUT
points of video insert editing, and at the IN point of
assemble editing. By selecting "CUT" in the essence mark
selection screen, you can search the result of editing.
For details of searching using essence marks, see page 78.
