Insert Editing

You can record a new scene into a previously recorded tape, replacing a section of the original recording with minimal picture distortion at the in and out points. The original audio remains unchanged.

●Use the provided remote control.

NOTES:

●Before performing the following steps, make sure that “TIME CODE” for “CAMERA DISPLAY” and “VIDEO DISPLAY” is set to “ON”.

( pg. 36, 39, 41)

●Insert Editing is not possible on a tape recorded in the LP mode or on a blank portion of a tape.

1 Play back the tape, locate the Edit-Out point and press PAUSE (9). Memorize the time code at this point ( pg. 21) since it will be needed to stop editing in step 5.

2 Press REW (3) until the Edit-In point is located, then press PAUSE (9).

3 Press and hold INSERT (I) on the remote control, then press PAUSE (9). The “9I” indicator and the Time Code (min.:sec.) appear and the camcorder enters Insert-Pause mode.

4 Press START/STOP to begin editing.

●To pause editing, press START/STOP. Press it again to resume editing.

5 When the time code reaches Edit-Out point (time code from step 1), press START/STOP, then STOP (8) to end Insert Editing.

NOTES:

●Program AE with special effects ( pg. 47) can be used to spice up the scenes being edited during Insert Editing.

●If you perform Insert Editing onto a blank space on the tape, the audio and video may be disrupted. Make sure you only edit recorded areas.

●During Insert Editing, when the tape moves to scenes recorded in the LP mode or a blank portion, Insert Editing stops. ( pg. 59)
