In the MIXER Event, you need to specify the duration of the transition in
seconds and frames. You do this by moving the cursor to the Duration
field, pressing CHG, typing the duration or turning the jog until the
correct duration is displayed, then pressing [OK]. For a cut to a new
source without a transition, specify a duration of 00. For a transition to a
new source, play the transition on your mixer, measure the duration for
the transition as accurately as possible, then enter the duration in the
MIXER Event. Also, you will need to ensure that the
current
and
next
sources are set correctly at the mixer before the transition is run.

PREVIEW THE A/B ROLL
: Display the last event in the EDL, then press
[PREVIEW]. Because you were on the last event when PREVIEW was
selected, only the last group of events will be previewed: scene 002, the
transition, and scene 003. To preview the entire EDL, move to the top of
the EDL before selecting PREVIEW.
G.
RECORD THE A/B ROLL
: Display the scene event from which you want
to start the recording, then press [SHIFT]+[AUTO REC]. Remember, if you
are using a third-party mixer, you will have to set up your mixer sources
manually. Also note that previews and auto-records always begin from
the first event in the current group. (If there are no events related to the
current event, it is a group consisting of a single event.) The only ways to
record scene 003 (above) by itself is to separate it from its current group by
removing the MX1 or MIXER event, or by adding a STOP event after the
MX1/MIXER event.
After the auto-record is complete, press [ALL STOP].
This concludes the
Getting Started
section. Review Chapter 2, then read
Chapters 4 and 5 to learn about assemble and auto-assemble editing and each
type of event that can be used with Edit Suite. To add accuracy to your edits,
read Chapter 7,
