Video (AV). Which of these you can use depends on the capabilities of the
record VCR. Note: There is no option for splitting Left and Right Audio.
Some VCRs only support video inserts; others support both audio inserts and
video inserts, but not both at the same time, and so on. Read your VCR manuals
carefully to determine the type(s) you can use.
Typically, an audio insert overwrites the PCM audio (CH1/2), a video insert
overwrites the video and the AFM audio, and an audio/video insert overwrites
the video, the AFM audio and the PCM audio. Again, check your Record VCR's
operating manual for specifics.
Insert and Scene Event Times
Although it is best to complete the IN and OUT times for both the Scene Event
and the INS Event, one of the OUT times may be omitted.
• If you omit the OUT time for the INS Event, Edit Suite will use the
duration of the Scene Event to determine the duration for the insert.
• If you omit the OUT time for the Scene Event, Edit Suite will use the INS
event's IN and OUT times to determine the duration of the insert.
• If all four times are specified, but the duration of the Scene Event is
different from the duration of the INS Event, the duration of the INS event
is used. If the Scene Event has a shorter duration, the OUT time for the
Scene Event will be ignored and the source VCR will continue to play
until the insert is complete.
Setup and Precautions
If possible, use VCRs that support time code to do your inserts. This will provide
the best accuracy for locating the insert point and the audio/video to be inserted.
If time code is not available, rewind both the play and record VCRs before
marking the insert points, then verify and adjust the points by using the [GO
TO]+[IN] and [GO TO]+[OUT] functions.
Before you can do an insert, you must set the INS parameter for VCRR (in the
CONFIG Menu) to 1. This indicates to Edit Suite that the record VCR is capable
of doing insert edits. If this is not done, during a preview or auto-record, Edit
Suite will beep twice and display
Error Message 23: Insert not available
when the
INS Event is encountered. The preview or auto-record will be halted at that time.
Respond to the error message by pressing [OK], then make the necessary change.
If the inserts start or end a little early or late, adjust the InsIN and InsOUT offset
parameters in the Configuration Menu for VCRR. The values are in 1/8 frame
increments: a value of -0008 for the InsIN parameter starts the inserts one frame
earlier; a value of -0240 (NTSC) or -0200 (PAL) starts the inserts one second
earlier.
