The Digital Cut tool goes through the motions of an insert edit and shows you how the
tape will appear before, during, and after the cut, but does not actually change the
master tape. You can then modify your digital cut, if you want, before it is committed to
the master tape.
6. (Option) To stop the preview at any time, do one of the following:
t Press the space bar.
t Click the Halt Digital Cut button.
Recording a Digital Cut to Tape (Remote Mode)
Recording in Remote mode lets you control your record deck by using the deck controller in
the Digital Cut tool. This mode provides frame-accurate control when you record a sequence
to tape.
To record a digital cut to tape:
1. Make sure you selected the appropriate device for the material you are recording. See
“Selecting the Device for Output” on page 988.
2. Load a sequence into the Record monitor. (You cannot access digital cut options without
a sequence loaded.)
3. Select Output > Digital Cut.
The Digital Cut tool opens.
4. Select the Output Mode and Bit Depth, as described in “Output Mode Resolution
Options” on page 1021.
Take care to select the Output Mode that supports the output device and provides the
output resolution you need.
5. Select or deselect the Entire Sequence option based upon the following:
t Select the Entire Sequence option if you want the system to ignore any IN or OUT
points and to play the entire sequence from start to finish.
t Deselect the Entire Sequence option if you have established an IN point, an OUT
point, or both for recording a portion of the sequence.
6. Click the Digital Cut Safe Mode button (selected by default) to allow your Avid editing
application to notify you of conditions that might cause dropped frames.
During a digital cut, real-time effects or HD clips in an SD sequence can drop frames.
Digital Cut Safe Mode analyzes and identifies real-time effects that might cause
dropped frames during the digital cut and lets you render them. It also identifies HD
clips in an SD sequence and gives you the opportunity to transcode them. After these
operations are complete, your Avid editing application automatically initiates the digital
cut.
