5 Set In and Out points on your tape where you want your clip or sequence recorded.
If you’re in Mastering mode: Use the transport controls in the Edit to Tape window to
cue the tape where you want to start your initial edit. Then press I or click the Mark In
button to set the In point. (You don’t set an Out point in this mode, because you may
include trailer elements that extend the edit duration.)
If you’re in Editing mode: Use the transport controls in the Edit to Tape window to cue
the tape and set an In point, an Out point, or both, depending on the type of three-
point edit you’re doing.
 To set an In point: Cue the tape where you want to start your initial edit, or type a
value. Then press I or click the Mark In button.
 To set an Out point: Cue the tape where you want your clip or sequence to end, or
type a value. Then press O or click the Mark Out button.
