Adding Audio or Video to Original Videotape Using AutoSequence

618

To establish sync with the original videotape, use filler to add where gaps in audio or video exist

in the sequence. After you finish editing the audio or video, you can use the Digital Cut

command to output only the audio, or both audio and video only the video onto the original

videotape.

If you do not use AutoSync and the video clip timecode does not match the audio clip timecode,

you should select only video clips when you use AutoSequence. You can then add audio to the

sequence and sync the audio with the video by using the Splice-in and Overwrite functions.

You can use the AutoSequence command with imported or AMA linked clips. You can also

AutoSequence multiple clips together with non-continuous timecode, closing the gap on the

filler in your sequence. This is helpful if you want to create a rough cut sequence with imported

or linked clips.

Use the following guidelines when you create a synchronized sequence:

• Your original videotape must have continuous timecode.

• Use only master clips, subclips, autosynced subclips, and/or group clips to create the

synchronized sequence.

• If you select two unrelated clips with overlapping timecodes, a message box indicates you

cannot do this operation. If the clips are related (for example, one clip is a subclip of the

other master clip), then one of the clips is selected automatically.

• The system removes and ignores points in the clips. A message box provides you with a

choice to continue and remove the points or to cancel the operation.

• Synchronized sequences are named from the Tape Name column for tape-based media and

the Source File column for file-based media.

Adding Audio or Video to Original Videotape

Using AutoSequence

If you add audio only, make sure the video tracks are not enabled when you begin

recording a digital cut. If you add video only, make sure you do not enable audio tracks

when you record a digital cut.

To add audio or video to your original videotape:

1. (Option) Use the AutoSync command to create synchronized subclips from your tape’s

master clips and your audio or video clips.

2. Open the bins that contain the clips you want to include in the sequence.

3. Select the clips.

4. Select Bin > AutoSequence.
