6.12 MARK IN/OUT/SYNC KEYS
The Mark In, Mark Out, and Mark Sync keys set temporary location markers for
audio editing and transport locating. Mark In defines the beginning of a clip and
Mark Out defines the end point. Mark Sync places a mark at the specific point of
interest in a clip - for use when syncing the clip to an event.
Audio between the points can be placed on the clipboard, deleted or erased. (You
may use the Cursor keys to audition the audio between and around the Mark points! See
§6.2.7 for details.)
The MARK IN and OUT points are not only used for editing, but are also useful as
Auto Location points that you do not want to store permanently. MARK IN and
OUT points can be recalled in the same way as location points.
6.12.1 Defining a Location using MARK IN
1. Cue to a desired location using the Transport, Auto locate, Wheel or
SMPTE Time Entry functions.
2. Press MARK IN. This can be pressed during playback, record or with the
transport stopped.
During playback or recording, repeated pressing of a MARK key will continuously
update that point to reflect the new location and delete the previous one.
6.12.2 Defining a Location using MARK OUT
1. Cue to a desired location using the Transport, Auto locate, Jog Wheel
or Enter Time functions.
2. Press MARK OUT during any transport mode. This can be pressed
during playback, record or with the transport stopped.
If you will be using MARK OUT to define =the end point of an audio clip, this
point must be after MARK IN.
This is not necessary if you are using MARK OUT as
a temporary location point.
During playback or recording, repeated pressing of a MARK key will continuously
update that point to reflect the new location, and will delete the previous MARK.
6.12.3 Defining a Location using MARK SYNC
In addition to the In and Out points, RADAR II supports a Mark Sync feature,
which is extremely useful in video post applications and any time when you need to
edit based on an event during a piece of clipboard audio, etc. For example, if the
production calls for a recorded clip of a car crash, you would mark the IN point as
the beginning of the tire screech, and the OUT point at the end of the crash.
