6-2-2 Animation Editing

Animation editing is a form of insert editing which makes it easier to record a succession of still frames in fixed field or frame units. The procedure for editing after selecting animation editing is exactly the same as for normal insert editing.

To select animation editing, use item 301. EDIT OPERATION MODE in the VTR SETUP menu.

normal: Selects normal insert editing.

CG: Selects editing in frame units, principally for recording computer graphics (CG).

When the edit completes, the OUT point automatically becomes the next IN point, and the next OUT point is set automatically with 1 frame added.

film: Selects editing in field units for film recording. Since the standard film speed is 24 frames/sec and VTR frame rate is 30 frames/sec when the frame frequency is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz, the duration must be alternated between 2 and 3 fields when recording films. In the FILM mode, this setting is made automatically. When an edit ends, as in the CG mode, the next IN and OUT points are set automatically.

Note

film is selectable only when the frame frequency of the VTR is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.
