Apple Final Cut Pro 5 - Manual (Page 1541)

190 Part III Output
 Mode: Choose an option—Mastering or Editing.
 Mastering: This is the default mode. The mastering mode is useful if you want to
output an entire movie with leading elements such as color bars, slate, and
countdown. In mastering mode, you can only set an In point on the tape, because
the Out point is calculated based on the duration of the elements you choose in
the Mastering tab.
 Editing: In Editing mode, only the selected clip or sequence is recorded to tape.
You cannot add leader or trailer elements. You can use this mode when replacing a
shot that’s already on tape with frame accuracy, and you can also use three-point
editing between your clip or sequence and the tape. For example, you can set In
and Out points on the tape and only set an In point in your sequence.
 Black and Code: Automatically records a black signal on a videotape, with silent
audio and continuous control and timecode tracks, from the beginning to the end of
the videotape.
 Timecode Duration: Displays the duration between the In and Out points set on
the tape.
 Current Timecode: Displays the current timecode position of the tape. If you enter a
timecode, the tape will move to that position.
 Edit Overlay: Appears when you drag a clip or sequence to the Edit to Tape window.
You can choose to perform an assemble or insert edit, or preview an insert edit.
 Edit buttons: Click to do an insert or assemble edit or preview your insert edit.
 Device status: Shows the status of the connected video equipment.
Navigation and Marking Controls
 Shuttle control: Drag the tab to the right to fast-forward and to the left to rewind the
tape. The speed depends on the distance of the tab from the center. When the tab is
green, playback speed is normal. Keyboard shortcuts are the J, K, and L keys.
 Jog control: Use this to move forward or backward a few frames at a time on the
tape. This is useful for visually locating a specific frame. You can also press the
Forward Arrow or Back Arrow.
