Editing Switch Data – We'll assume that you wish to create an 'on' condition for the
switch where it is currently stored as 'off' in the mix data. The vertical red line on the
left of the display indicates the current Off state. Press the pen on the line and a
vertical yellow bar will appear. Now drag the pen to the right of the yellow bar. This
produces a white line on the display that gives an indication of your edit (in this case,
turning the switch state to on). Drag the pen down for your desired duration of the On
state. Release the pen and a red outline will define the edited information. Note that
you can write mix data 'On' in a forward and backward direction. When you press the
pen to edit, a timecode box appears at the bottom of the pop-up, indicating the current
pen position.
To write an Off state, stab the pen on the red line to the left before the start of an
existing On state and drag downward for the length of the desired Off state. Take note
that you can only write an Off state forwards in time. Once again, when you press the
pen to edit, the timecode box the bottom of the screen, shows the current pen position.
Existing switch events can be edited in the same way by stabbing on the event
boundary and dragging up or down to move the event start or end.
All this will seem a lot simpler when you actually try it yourself. Cuts/Uncuts/FX
On/Off etc. can all be very simply written off-line with this facility, and then further
modified to taste.
The Ref channel on the right hand side of the pop-up shows, as a guide, the written
mix information for a channel you may wish to reference your edit to. This can be
useful where you wish to match a cut on another channel, for example. The reference
channel can be selected by stabbing on the Ref: Ch 1 box in the Edit Mix menu. A
pop-up will appear asking you to stab the channel on the Overview display that you
would like as your new reference.
The boxes at the foot of the Edit Mix Data pop-up have the following functions:
Zoom In As implied; stab on the area you wish to zoom in on
Zoom Out Does just that
Revert Edits Loses edits you made since entering the display
Cycle Cycles the selected window with preroll
Mark Places a Mark at the playhead position on the relevant channel. These
marks can be used to specify edit points for audio (DiskTrack only)
