Using the built-‐in editing features
The POV.HD can perform basic, automated editing operations within the recorder, based on tags you’ve
placed in your video clips.
Save Tags
Save Tags creates a separate clip for each tag in a recorded clip. Using the Loop Record Time value that is set
at the time Save Tags runs, Save Tags creates a clip with half of the Loop Record Time preceding the tag and
half following it.
For example, look again at the example used earlier to explain the
Clip
Record Method
;
You’ve made a ten minute clip with tags at 2:06, 5:54, and 7:18, and the Loop Record Time is set to 30
seconds. If you run Save Tags, you will get 3 new clips—one for each tag.
• Clip 1 will run from 2:51 to 2:21. Since the Loop Record Time is 30 seconds, the clip starts half that
length (15 seconds) before the first tag, which is at 2:06, and goes for 30 seconds, which takes it
15 seconds past the tag, which is 2:21.
•
Clip 2 will run from 5:39 to 6:09.
•
Clip 3 will run from 7:03 to 7:33.
The tag clips created by Save Tags are placed in a subdirectory called “tags”. The tag clips can be uploaded to a
computer for viewing or appending into a larger clip, but they cannot be viewed or manipulated on the
recorder itself.
