You can create or load a new file to start editing using the following
procedure.
1
Press the MAVE-F555 R key, and select an MAV-555 port.
2
Press the NEW FILE key.
This closes the file assigned to the current port, and creates a new
BLACK/MUTING file, which is loaded on the current port.
NOTE
• The overall length of a new file is the length specified by the MAV-555 setup
menu 321 "LINEAR EDIT NEW FILE LENGTH."
For more details, see the MAV-555 Operation Manual.
• When the R key is not selected, the NEW FILE key is invalid.
• Depending on the setting in the MAV-555 expanded menu "MAVE-F555
PORT," if the MAVE-F555 R key corresponds to "none," then the operation
of pressing the R key is invalid, and it is not possible to create a new file.
For details of the "MAVE-F555 PORT" setting, see Section 3-4, "Recorder Selection
Function" (page 3-42).
Copying an existing file
You can copy an existing file on the MAV-555, and open it. This operation is
convenient in the following cases.
• When you create a single editing template file on the MAV-555, which
includes a title or color bars, and make a copy each time you start editing.
• When you want to use the same file on different playback ports.
Since it is not possible to open a single file simultaneously on different
playback ports file, to use the same file content on different playback ports, it
is necessary to open a copy of the file.
