130 vs 1200a

[Steve Mahrer] “What your doing is okay as you’re laying off the entire show as one piece, that’s like a hard record function. My worries are that folks are trying to assemble their masters in pieces, they’ll layoff a minutes of so, return and add another clip after that, and so on. The overlaps where the old and new material meets is where the problem of high error rates occur, that’s where flying erase heads etc are required to ensure a clean edit.”

Absolutely correct. I guess I should clarify that I am laying off an entire episode in one pass. Edit In Point starts at 00:59:00:00 and ends at the end of the show.

If there are any issues with the Mastering, I start the edit again from the beginning, I do NOT perform any Assemble edits within a show.

[Steve Mahrer] “Joking aside, please understand that the process for actualy recording on tape is very different between true editing and the this quaisi-Crash Assemble process, the record light may light up, the tape may play okay, yet it’s not a 100% safe edit. I just wanted to reitterate the difference….”

Steve, I understand that it’s not a perfectly clean edit and you would never want to make an edit within a master. All I’m trying to point out is that the machine does perform an Assemble Edit with Final Cut Pro and it’s quite accurate. How it actually performs the edit / crash, I’m not overly worried about that because it happens prior to the show.

I never attempt to perform Insert or Assemble edits within a Tape Master anyway. I’ve never trusted any NLE to do this perfectly so why bother, it’s usually easier to simply remaster the entire project so you’re assured of a nice clean pass.

Hi Walter:

I think we’re all on the same page, phew! Semanitics are very important here.
My fears were that folks were assembing shows scene by scene etc…. Your aproach
of a one pass layback should be quite valid and should work.

Thanks
