Entering a Reel Name for the Current Tape
All clips require a reel name. Make sure you enter the proper reel name before you
capture. The reel name is necessary any time you need to go back to your original
tapes. This is especially true if you need to recapture your footage from tape. For more

Important:

of entering the reel name as soon as you put a new tape in the VTR or camcorder.
