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 information,
see “Choosing Reel Names.”
Important: You can change the reel name at any time, but you should get in the habit
of entering the reel name as soon as you put a new tape in the VTR or camcorder.
