Deleted takes are shown by an empty space
until the take delete button is deselected.
Once the take delete button is deselected,
the takes will again form an uninterrupted
grid.
If the Cinedeck loses power while recording,
upon restarting the application, the file af-
fected will show a “recover” button in place
of the thumbnail. *QUICKTIME FILES ONLY
To recover the file, simply press “recover” and
the file will be rewritten and closed properly.
As this process creates a new file, it may be
necessary to create space on the media.
If space is insufficient, copy all other files
except the affected file and its associated
.journal file to other media, then put the me-
dia with the bad file back in the Cinedeck.

To delete or rename Project/Scene folders:
1) Folders cannot have takes inside, they must be empty
2) “Disable safe” must be selected in the Prefs tab
3) “Take delete” button must be unselected
The take delete button [take delete] enables
the deletion of takes.
When the button is active, a red “x” appears
on each take. To delete a take, press the x
and then slide the slider to either the left or
right depending on where in the window the
take is.
BEWARE! THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE!
Think at least twice before deleting takes.
Copy to other storage first.
