Performing an Insert Edit When Editing to Tape
An insert edit allows you to edit individual video or audio tracks to tape, setting
frame-accurate In and Out points. Insert editing requires tapes that already have a
prerecorded signal, such as blacked tapes. For details, see “
Important:
Make sure you’ve read and followed the instructions in Volume 1,
Chapter 11, “Connecting DV Video Equipment.”
Note: Some tape formats and VTRs, such as consumer mini-DV devices, do not
support insert editing. If your VTR or tape format is limited to assemble editing (such as
a DV deck or camcorder), then the insert editing controls in the Edit to Tape window
are dimmed.
To perform an insert edit:
1
Choose File > Edit to Tape.
In most layouts, the Edit to Tape window appears on top of the Canvas.
2
Choose Editing or Mastering mode from the pop-up menu in the top center of
the window.
For more information about the Editing and Mastering modes, see “

Select a clip or sequence in the Browser.

disabled if you are using
DV equipment.
