RCA ProV950HB Cutting Unwanted Sequences, To Stop Editing, Setting the Edit Mode, Recording

Editing

Video editing lets you refine your videos by removing unwanted sequences from your tape or transposing one sequence with another. This camcorder lets you monitor the source program on the built-in LCD monitor without having to connect it to an external TV or video monitor.

Connect the camcorder to a VCR with the supplied Docking Station unit and audio/video cable.

Cutting Unwanted Sequences

1 Play back the tape to be edited, and locate the beginning and end of the sequence you wish to cut. Write down the tape counter readings at the beginning and end of that sequence (see page 37). Then rewind the tape to the beginning of the portion that you wish to keep.

2 Load a blank tape cassette into the recording VCR.

3 Set the Power switch to VCR. Press on the operation button ( ) to select “PLAY” and press the VCR’s REC (Record) button at the same time.

4 Press the VCR’s Pause/Still button to pause recording when the source tape reaches the beginning of the sequence to be cut.

5 Press the VCR’s Pause/Still (or Record) button to resume recording when the source tape reaches the end of the sequence to be cut.

Notes:

•If your VCR has an S-video input connector, connect it to the S-VIDEO connector on the Docking Station with the supplied S-video cable.

•When both the normal A/V cable and the S-video cable are connected to the Docking Station, video signals are output only through the S-video cable. Do not connect the S-video cable to the Docking Station if the video equipment to be connected does not have an S-video connector.

To Stop Editing

PressAon the button to select “STOP” on the VCR screen and press the STOP button on the VCR.

Notes:

•Make sure that you press the Pause/Still button at exactly the right moments in steps 4 and 5 above. Otherwise, some of the transitions between edited sequences may be slightly off.

•The picture may be disturbed during video search or still picture playback. This does not imply a defect in the camcorder.

Setting the Edit Mode

Picture quality inevitably declines during dubbing from the camcorder to a VCR. To minimize the quality reduction, set the camcorder to Edit mode.

1 Set the camcorder to VCR mode, and press the MENU button until appears.

2 Press B on the button to select “MENU”.

3 Press B on the button to set “EDIT” to “ON”.

Notes:

•The “EDIT” setting is ineffective when the cam- corder is recording.

•After you finish dubbing, set the “EDIT” menu item back to “OFF”.
