MENU 010 DELETE END OF CLIP
This function deletes the section of a recorded clip from the current
transport position until the end of the clip. This command is useful
when a recording became too long because it was not stopped in
time.
Switch the menu off and use the transport keys to locate the desired
new end of the current clip. Select MENU 010 by pressing the
[MENU] key. Hold down the [RECORD] key and then press the [
◄ ]
key to delete the marked end of the selected clip.
Note: Previously locator positions which are not anymore inside the
clip range are automatically set to the new created end of clip.
The erased disk space is available for new recordings.
MENU 011 COPY REGION
Menu 011 COPY REGION and MENU 012 PASTE REGION allow
you to copy a section of a clip and paste it to the end of an other or
empty clip.
LOC1 and LOC2 markers define the start and endpoints of the
region. Switch off the MENU and use the transport keys to locate the
beginning of the region you want to copy.
Hold down the [RECORD] key and then press the [LOC1] key to set
the start point of the region (IN).
Use the transport keys to locate the end of the section you want to
copy.
Hold down the [RECORD] key and then press the [LOC2] key to set
the end point of the region (OUT).
Select MENU 011 COPY REGION and press the stop [
■ ] key to copy
the selected region to the bonsaidrive clipboard.
The display indicates "BUSY…" during the copy process and
"DONE" when the copy procedure is finished.

If the marked endpoint (LOC1) is set before the startpoint (LOC2) a
error message will occur: "ERROR: OUT BEFORE IN".
The length of a region is called DURATION and displayed in this
menu in time code format (hours:minutes:seconds:frames).
The bonsaidrive clipboard is limited to 311.296 frames
(about 2.88 hours at 30 fps).
Use the [+] and [–] keys to navigate in-between different clips.
MENU 012 PASTE REGION
This command adds a region you have copied before using the
COPY REGION command to the end of the currently selected clip.
Use the [+] and [–] keys to navigate to the clip where you want to add
the region. The DURATION of the clipboard is shown in this menu as
well.
Press stop [
■ ] key to paste the clipboard contents to the end of the
selected clip.
The display indicates "BUSY…" during the paste process and
"DONE" when the paste procedure is completed.
A so called crossfade is processed for all 10 audio channels at the
edit point to avoid the typical "pop" noise which is generated when
audio signals are hard edited.
The copy & paste procedure does not duplicate the video and audio
material data on the harddrive. Therefore no additional hard drive
space is used and the whole process takes just a few seconds.
On the bonsaidrive harddisk each frame is stored individually and
can be used independent by each of the 255 clips. As long as one of
the clips uses a specific frame this frame and its diskspace are write
protected.
