Archiving Sequences on Tape

The Play to Tape feature records one story at a time, though you can also record
stories in groups.

To archive a group of stories, create a playlist with the selected sequences and
then record the playlist to tape. It is a good idea to load a clip of black (or a
countdown) for approximately 5 seconds in between each sequence. You can
record a clip of black and keep it in your MISC folder in your Bin.

To archive your sequences to tape:

1. Create a playlist using the sequences you want to archive.

See “Creating a Playback List” on page 251 for instructions.

2. Press Record on your tape deck.

3. Press the

Play

button in the Playback Channel window.

TIPYou can play through all sequences by pressing

Ctrl + Shift

on

the keyboard and simultaneously clicking the

Play

button on the

screen, which continuously loops the entire playlist. Turn

Loop

Playback

off and

Cue Next After Playback

on to use this feature.
