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.
