Performing an Assemble Edit to Tape
Assemble editing begins recording the signal on tape at the predetermined timecode In
point. For details, see
“About Assemble Editing to Tape.”
If you are outputting to DVCPRO HD via FireWire, the timecode recorded to the tape can
start from the existing tape timecode or you can choose to create new timecode on the
tape based on the sequence timecode. If you choose this option, the timecode written
to tape is the same as the sequence timecode.
Important: Make sure you’ve read and followed the instructions in “Connecting DV Video
Equipment.”
