Video files recorded by the AV400 (not internet files) can be modified by
deleting the sections you do not wish included. The editing you can do
is either cropping or cutting of particular segments of the video file. You
will mark a segment of your video file, and then you will tell the AV400 to
CROP it out (delete everything except the marked segment) or to CUT it out
(delete the marked segment from the video file). These operations can be
done multiple times on the same video file. Once finished, you will have the
option to save the edit marks with the video or to write a new video file. If
you save your file with edit marks, you can always go back and change your
edits at another time. The actual video information is not deleted. On the
other hand, you can write a new file which will only include the video parts
that you specified in the edit session. This file will be smaller but you can
never un-edit it.
Beginning of recording
Example 1: You have recorded a music video program and would like to
keep one single music presentation. The rest of the television recording
you do not care to keep. In this case, you would set a Start mark (a) at the
beginning of the desired segment, and an End mark (b) at the end of the
desired segment. You would then choose CROP which would then delete
everything except the designated section.
Example 2: You have recorded a television program but would like to remove
certain sections before the program started, parts during the program, and
the program afterwards because you had recorded a little extra. In this case,
you would make a Start mark (a) at time 00:00 and then forward to the end
of what you want to delete and make your End mark (b), and choose CUT.
