Setting Up Your Edit in the Source Tool
There are also several features in the Source Tool you can use before you begin
recording:
• Mark In and Out points on the Timeline
• Use a variable speed for recording
• Set up a split edit
• Route the audio output
• Use Input Tools to adjust the video and audio before recording
• Name Source tapes for ingest
Marking In and Out Points
Marking In and Out Points in the Source Tool is identical to marking points in
the Timeline Tool. See “Marking In and Out Points” on page 60.
Using Variable Speed Record
NewsEdit lets you take advantage of the Dynamic Motion Control on most tape
decks and create a slow-motion or fast-motion record on the fly. In the Source
Tool, you set the speed in percentages and click them when you want a change
in speed. The default speeds are 75%, 50%, and 0, which you use to create a
freeze frame. Variable speed record also works with clip sources.
To create a variable speed record:
1. Press 2 to select the Source Tool.
2. Click Enable variable speed controls .
The percentage windows become active.
3. Choose one of the three default speeds or enter a new percentage.
You can enter positive or negative numbers, as your deck allows.
4. Press F12 to record your clip.
The clip records to the Timeline with the speed you chose.
NOTE: If you are using a deck source, you can change the speed
while recording the clip by clicking one of the other percentage fields.
