  Edit to tape query

  Posted by Chris Poisson on October 30, 2005 at 11:59 pm

  I did an edit to tape this weekend, after a bunch of trial and error I got it to work, going to a UVW 1800, insert edit worked in my ETT window but would not go to tape, only an assemble edit would go to tape. Any wisdom on this?

  I don’t think an 1800 can do an Insert Edit, only Assemble Edits. I’ve never tried it with my 1800, but I’m pretty sure you need to step up to the PVM 2800 to be able to Insert.

  I agree. The UVW-1800 is fully capable of insert edits. You have to use an external edit controller or a computer interface since there are no controls on thr front panel, but it will edit just fine. Chris, make sure that you have the audio and video tracks enabled when you try to insert edit. You can do this at the bottom right side of the ETT window. Just click the appropriate tracks you’d like to record on before doing the edit. If none of the tracks are enabled, I believe that ETT will go thru all the motions yet not record anything on the tape. I could be wrong and FCP might give you an error message, but it could account for the fact that it seems to edit yet there isn’t anything on the tape afterwards.
