Editing Preferences - Sony SONOMA User Manual

Fade Length
Fade length fields appear in the splice and ingredient editors and also in other preference
tabs. This preference lets you "freeze" the format of fade length fields so they will always
appear in msecs. format, regardless of the global time format.

Editing Preferences

The editing preferences sets global values for editing:
Nudge Amount
The nudge amount is the time increment used by the nudge commands that move the
Nowline and the selected ingredients. (Please see the discussion of nudging and the timecode
format in § 2.11.3.)
Crossfade Length and Type
The crossfade length is the default fade length applied by the paste before/after Nowline and
slice commands. It is also the crossfade length used after recording when new ingredients are
punched into an EDL.
Append Edit Gap
This is the offset used by the linear edit append command, see §
Undo Levels
The number of undo levels controls the length of the Undo list. When the list reaches its
maximum length and new edit commands occur, the oldest commands are removed from the
end.
Insert Command Ripple Options
When the linear edit insert command (see § 2.10.3) causes a ripple before midnight, the
system will perform the option you select here: insert time, trim, or cancel the command.
Punch Record Auto Cleanup
This checkbox and time field enables the auto cleanup feature (see § 2.8.9.1) that removes
small stubs that can remain when recording resulted in a punch-in across a pre-existing cross
fade.
Zoom Presets
These four fields specify the EDL ranges associated with the four "zoom to preset"
navigation commands (see § 2.4.1.1).
Splice Editor Zooming
When the splice editor first views a new edit, it zooms to show the splice with a pre- and
post-roll equal to the currently selected pre-roll value (see § 2.13.2). This preference
overrides that behavior and zooms the window to a fixed size that you can specify.
Default Authoring Mark Offset
This field specifies the offset value assigned to a newly created Start or Index mark. The
offset can only be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 SACD frames. The recommended value is 4 frames.
Enable Offset Editing
When this box is checked the offset field in the mark editor is enabled so you can change the
offset assigned to any Start or Index mark (see § 2.15.5.5).
