Chapter 6 Thumbnail Operations for Clips — Thumbnail operations
t
Turning off the power or inserting/removing a card during copying may damage the P2 card. If you accidentally make these mistakes, it can result in
defective clips. After deleting the defective clips redo copying.
t
Copying is not performed when the following error messages are displayed.
- [LACK OF CAPACITY!]
Copying could not be performed because the recording capacity of the copy destination is insufficient.
- [UNKNOWN CONTENTS FORMAT!]
Copying could not be performed because a defective clip is selected.
- [NO COPY TO SAME CARD!]
Copying could not be performed because you are attempting to copy to the same card.
- [TOO MANY CLIPS!]
Copying could not be performed because there are too many clips selected.
t
If copying is performed while a text memo is selected in the lower part of the text memo, the section between the selected text memo position and the
next text memo will be copied. If no text memo is found after the selected one, then the part after the selected text memo to the end of the clip will be
copied. For details, refer to “Using a text memo to divide a clip and copy the necessary portion” (page 129).
