FCP6 user manual says to set the edit to tape window mode from “mastering” (the default) to “Editing” to enable insert edits.
I already screwed up my DVCAM tape by doing an assemble edit to try and fix a small portion of the tape with what I wanted to be my insert point as my in point. so, I’m re-writing them, with some more knowledge of using the edit to tape feature.
You can’t use the mastering mode to tell the tape to pick up where it left off. the tape doesn’t playback properly at that point, at least it doesn’t in my Sony DSR11
