EDITING - 14
Version 2.00 - March, 1996 Page 115
NOTE: You will note that the IN->NOW (and SYNC and OUT->NOW) can paste over
material (as in the above example of OUT->NOW). Please be careful not to accidentally
lose data this way. If you make a mistake, you can use UNDO to repair it.
Of course, you can also use the NUDGE function to move and slip audio around but the
IN->NOW and its associated functions are particularly useful because, using RS422
machine control, you can jog the VTR to achieve very precise picture sync, jogging back
and forth until you see the actor’s mouth open when syncing dialogue, jogging back and
forth until you see the precise point the gun goes off when syncing a gunshot effect or the
exact point a door closes or jogging the VTR to find an exact visual reference point for
syncing up a particular point in a music cue. In non-picture applications (such as radio
drama, for example), this is a very good way to line up cues with others It’s a very tactile
and ‘physical’ way of syncing audio to picture that nudging (whilst also useful) does not
always offer.
TIP! A very quick way of achieving the same function is to press SHIFT+IN, SHIFT+SYNC
or SHIFT+OUT. The same screen will be shown and the function works exactly the same
way.
