Edit Points

The VS-2480 provides a set of special markers just for editing—these markers are called
“edit points.” The IN and OUT edit points define regions of data. The FROM and TO
edit points help you accurately position phrases and regions you’re moving or copying.

Edit Point Flags

In the playlist, each edit point is shown as a dotted line with
a flag at its top. Each point has its own flag.

IN and OUT

In region editing, the process begins with selecting the portion of the project you want
to edit. You define this time range by placing the IN and OUT edit points:

FROM and TO

Whenever you move or copy a phrase or region, you begin by designating a specific
reference point within the phrase or region—a “time anchor,” if you will. (The VS-2480
does this for you automatically, as described below.) This anchor can be the beginning
of the phrase or region, or it can be an event somewhere in the middle of it.
When you select a location to which you want to move or copy a phrase or region, what
you’re really doing is selecting a location to which you want to move or copy its anchor.
Most often when you move or copy a phrase or region, you’ll want to place the front of
the moved or copied data at the desired time destination.
Use the VS-2480’s Scrub feature for the most precise positioning of the timeline when
you’re placing edit points. Scrub is described on Page 184.
The FROM point is set to the same location as the IN
point by default—you won’t see its flag when it’s behind
the IN flag. You can manually move the FROM point to a
different location, as described in this chapter.

This edit point: Sets:

IN the beginning of the section of data you want to work with.
OUT the end of the section of data you want to work with.
You should never place your OUT edit point at an earlier location in the project than
your IN edit point.

This edit point: Sets:

FROM the time anchor within a phrase or region.
TO the location to which you want to move or copy the time anchor.
IN FROM OUT TO
