Check your device’s documentation to determine its recording capabilities
for assemble and insert editing:
$ Assemble Records all tracks (video and audio) sequentially onto the
tape. The control track and previously recorded material on the tape will
be replaced with the material recorded from your sequence.
$ Insert Records selected tracks (video and/or audio), without affecting
the control track. This lets you perform a video or audio dub. For
example, you can choose to record only video, only selected audio tracks,
or video and selected audio tracks from your sequence.

track
, and select the Audio tracks to export.

automatically stop when dropped frames are encountered. You’ll get a
warning if the export to tape is aborted due to a dropped frame.
10 Under Transport Control, use the controls to play back your tape. The
current time code of your tape appears in the box above the transport
controls. When entering a time code manually, you must use the
HH:MM:SS:FF format. You can also use the
J, K, and L shortcut keys to
control the shuttle. Press
J to shuttle left, L to shuttle right, and K to stop.
Pressing
J or L multiple times increases the shuttling speed. Click the cue
button ( ) to position the tape at the currently displayed time code.

recorder or when an invalid connection is detected.
11 Specify where you want the recording to start and stop on your tape as
follows:
$ Click the In button ( ) to set the In point to the current time code, or
enter the required time code in the
In box. Click the cue button ( ) to
position the tape at the currently displayed
In time code.
$ Click the Out button ( ) to set the Out point to the current time code,
or enter the required time code in the
Out box. Click the cue button

Out time code. The
Out time code is not inclusive. That is, your recording will stop a frame
before the set Out point time code. For example, if your In point is
00:00:00:01 and your Out point is 00:00:00:03, the duration of your
recording is 00:00:00:02 and you will record over frames 01 and 02 on
your tape.
Alternately, you can select
Duration and enter the duration you want for
the recording. The Out point will then be calculated for you. By default,
the duration is set to the duration of the work area. Click the reset button
