Monitoring Video During Clip Input and Output Operations
 
 
 

When you output a clip to a tape that already has media on it, you can enable a split view to compare a clip with a portion of tape, in much the same way as split view allows to compare two video segments in the player. This can be especially useful if you are outputting a clip to seamlessly overwrite a section on the tape.

To use the split view preview option:

  1. With a clip or clip(s) loaded in the Output Clip menu and a tape in the appropriate VTR device, enable Split View.

    The Split View controls are enabled and you can view the clip that is currently set for output alongside the content on the tape.

  2. Set Split View preview options:
  3. With Split View enabled, you can scrub the VTR to locate the frame that matches the frame of the current clip.
  4. Set the In point to the timecode of the frame on tape that corresponds to the first frame of the clip.
  5. Cue to the In point. The first frame of the clip and matching frame on tape are displayed in Split View.
  6. Click Play to play the tape and the clip simultaneously in Split View.
  7. Click Stop, and disable Split View when you are finished.
