When multiple clips in the same session are selected for output, the application performs a validation check
to determine if certain parameters match the project settings and whether or not the video device is capable
of outputting these clips. The following outcomes are possible:
■ If the clips have mixed timing settings, you are prompted to select which timing you want to use. Clips
having timings different from the one you select are discarded.
■ Clips with field dominance mismatch are discarded or kept, depending on your selection.
■ Clips exceeding the maximum bit depth are discarded from the selection. A selection containing 8- and
10-bit clips can be output.
■ If all the clips are discarded from the selection after the validation check, a message appears allowing
you to confirm.
If some of the clips have overlapping timecodes, their timecodes are highlighted in red in the clip list. To
fix overlapping timecodes, edit the timecodes in the clip list, or use the timecode fields in the Output tab.
To output multiple clips to VTR:
1 Load the clips that you want to output into the VTR Output module. See
Accessing the VTR Output
Module
(page 260).
2 If the clips have conflicting timings, you are prompted to select the timing you want to use.
Clips that do not match this timing are discarded.
3 To ouput a clip, its status field must have the selected indicator. Click the Status field to alternate
between the selected indicator and an empty field.
4 Set output options for each clip.
5 Optional: Click the column headers to sort the list. This changes the order of the output sequence.
6 To output the clip to the VTR, select Insert from the Output box.
The clips with Status selected are output to tape. During output, the Status column is updated to reflect
the status of each clip:
■ Pending: the clip is waiting to be output to tape.
■ Output: the clip is being output to tape.
■ Done: the clip has been ouput to tape.
7 After the transfer is complete, verify that it was successful by playing the transferred clips: cue to the
in timecodes and click the Play button in the VTR Transport controls. Clips that have been output are
highlighted in the clip list of the large VTR Output module.
8 When finished, click EXIT.
When outputting multiple clips with the small VTR Output module, note the following differences:
■ Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate the clip list.
■ Once output options have been set for each clip, make sure you are viewing the first clip you want to
output.
■ When you select Insert in the Output box, the clip you are viewing, and all subsequent clips, are output
to tape. Clips that precede the clip you are viewing are not output to tape.
Outputting Clips in Assemble Mode
If you do not have time to black an entire tape, you can black a small portion of the tape and output clips
to the tape in assemble mode. In this mode, the timecode on the tape is generated by the VTR as part of the
recording process. Make sure that timecode regeneration is properly configured on the VTR. The standing
recommendation is blacking one minute at the beginning of the tape.
