yeah sounds like linked selection, as dave said, (button on timeline next to snap button on upper righthand side)

might also be locked tracks?

Hi Paul, thanks for the response and link! Shane’s answer, though informative, is written with a different goal in mind (insert editing on a dsr25 not assembly) and also would not work from OSX Tiger onwards (according to the thread).

Your words make sense, but if I set the starting TC on tape to 59:00:00 and want the program to start at 01:00:00:00 as you suggest, and I want a 30 sec colours bars, 20 sec black and 10 sec countdown (which i would create on the timeline), that means i’d have to black the tape from 59:00:00 for a 20 sec or so (manually on the dsr25), then crash write the colour bars / leader from the start of tape (59:00:00), then rewind and set the assemble edit start (start of program) to 01:00:00:00 (seeing as presumably the leader / bars would be over a minute by a few frames or seconds).

Or alternatively let the colour bars / leader / etc start at 01:00:00:00 and the program thusly at 01:01:00:00.
if I did this alternative, which seems the most logic, would a broadcaster (which requests a 1 minute lead in specifically) find the starting timecode? (as 1 minute lead in would put the tape at 01:00:00:00 which’d be the start of the colour bars not the program) or would they automatically assume to start their search from 01:00:00:00?

Correct? which do you suggest?

I’ve seen this stuff in the manual but the ambiguity between the various possibilities is killing me

Thanks for responding Rafael

Edit to Tape, assemble mode. (lol thought I specified everything! 🙂

Yes I know re TC, as my deck isn’t hooked up through RS422 I can’t send external TC so the only option I have on it is internal… better ideas (other than getting a control deck / burst gen?)
