Chapter 8 – Shortcut Keys
CAUTION: Be very careful to mark a Take as a False Start only once. If you should mark it more than once,
each additional marking will cause that number of following Takes to also be marked as a False Start.
For example: If you mark the last Take as a False Start 3 times, that Take and the following 2 Takes will all be
marked as False Starts.
