Playing Out to a VTR
Use the Playout tool to play out frames
from Lustre so that they can be recorded to an external device.
NoteIf you play out Telecine-style
to tape, you can only play out in Assemble mode.
In the majority of cases,
you will play out rendered frames to a VTR. See
Rendering Shots.
There are exceptions:
There are three modes
for playing out to a VTR:
- In Insert mode, you record video only,
audio only, or a combination of both, to a tape that already contains
material (either pre-striped with black or actual video material
with a valid control track).
- In Assemble mode, you can add video to
the end of previously-recorded material.
- In Record mode, you can play out video
to a blank tape or a tape that contains existing material. Everything
on the tape is overwritten when recording.
For some video formats,
you can add 3:2 pulldown during the playout operation. See
About 3:2 Pulldown.
