Insert Editing
The Insert Editing function lets you substitute a part of a
previously made recording by inserting one or several new
scenes together with new sound. This editing method lets
you precisely set the end point, and the recording will stop
automatically when this point is reached. This editing method
also ensures smooth, noise-free picture transitions between
old and new recordings.
