m Editing: Uses exactly the content that you select and doesn’t include any mastering

options. In editing mode, you can do standard three-point edits directly to tape. You use

editing mode if you want to replace video, audio, or both on tape.

m Mastering: Includes mastering options in the ﬁnal output such as color bars and tone, a

slate, and a countdown. The Duration and Out ﬁelds are dimmed, since mastering

options affect the overall duration of the piece. You use mastering mode when you want

to output your ﬁnished sequence to tape from a speciﬁed starting timecode. This mode is

the default.

Edit to Tape Operations

Edit to Tape has three types of operations, which you choose using the buttons at the

bottom left of the window or by activating the overlay function. To edit to tape using the edit

mode buttons, click any of the three buttons in the bottom-left corner of the Edit to Tape

window. You can also drag a sequence or clip into the window to activate the Edit to Tape

overlay function.

Note: Edit to Tape buttons only work on clips loaded into the Viewer. To load a sequence

into the Viewer, close the opened sequence (if it’s in the Canvas), and drag the sequence

from the Browser to the Viewer.
