Editing

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

Connect the VIEWCAM to a VCR with the sup- plied audio/video cable, as shown.

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

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

To stop editing

Press the Stop buttons on the VIEWCAM and the VCR.

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 video cassette into the recording VCR.

3 Set the Power switch on the VIEWCAM to VCR. Press the PLAY button (D) on the VIEWCAM and the Record button on the VCR at the same time.

Notes:

Some of the transitions between edited sequences may be slightly off.

There may be picture noise during video search or still picture playback. This does not imply a defect in the VIEWCAM.

Setting Edit Mode

Picture quality inevitably decreases when dubbing from the VIEWCAM to a VCR. To minimize the quality reduction, set the VIEWCAM to Edit mode.
