Enabling Assemble-Edit Recording
Insert editing is the default setting for the Digital Cut tool. You can also use assemble-edit settings in the Avid application, along with the assemble-editing capabilities of your record deck, to quickly record frame-accurate digital cuts without striping entire tapes in advance.
 |
|
To avoid accidentally breaking timecode on prestriped tapes during
digital cut recording, enable assemble editing only when in use, and
disable it during insert-edit recording.
|
 | |
DV cameras or decks controlled through a 1394 connection and the OHCI
protocol do not consistently support the commands for frame-accurate
recording. As a result, if you are preparing to record to one of these
devices, the insert edit and assemble edit menu choices do not appear in
the Digital Cut tool. You can use the Digital Cut tool in either local mode
or remote mode, but all tracks are enabled for recording and cannot be
modified.
|
To enable assemble-edit recording:
The Settings Scroll list appears.
| 2. | |
Double-click Deck Preferences.
|
The Deck Preferences dialog box opens.
| 3. | |
Select "Allow assemble edit for digital cut."
|
| 5. | |
If possible, check the following settings on your record deck:
|
| – |
|
The free run/rec (record) run switch should be set to record run.
|
| – |
|
The Ext (external)/Int (internal) sync switch should be set to
internal.
|
| – |
|
The switch for internal timecode should be set to Regen
(regenerate) or Slave Lock, not Preset.
|
| – |
|
After you record 15 to 30 seconds of timecode onto the record tape
for jam syncing, set the Local/Remote switch to Remote for deck
control from within the Avid application.
