Points to note when increasing the duration of a video clip
In the factory default configuration, video from 2 seconds before the IN
point to 2 seconds after the OUT point is copied to the disk recorder when
you copy video clips from tape to the disk recorder. Therefore, you cannot
add more than 2 seconds at the start and end of a clip when working with
clips stored on the disk recorder.
If you wish, you can increase the length of video recorded at the start and
end of a clip to more than 2 seconds. Make the Clip Bin window the active
window, select Options from the Settings menu, and set the desired length.
As shown in the figure below, you can begin by copying a video clip with
more than enough duration to the disk recorder and then create shorter
clips from the longer clip. In this case there is no limitation on the
adjustment of edit points, even when you are working with clips stored on
the disk recorder.
If you know in advance that you may want to change the edit points of a
video clip, you should normally start by uploading a longer clip to the disk
recorder, or use the Settings menu to change the factory default length.
