VIDEOTAPE EDITING 71

The Scene List number will automatically move to Scene 2.
Repeat the above procedure to program the beginning and
end of the scene with Josh opening his tool kit.
The Scene List number will automatically move to Scene 3.
Now, if you want to, you can move the 8mm tape forward to
Tape Counter position 00:11:06 and begin programming the
third scene, of the kids eating birthday cake. However,
there’s a short cut. Press the Scene key to move the Scene
List number to Scene 4. Now, you can program the begin-
ning and end of Scene 4, of the kids playing with the toys.
You’re already at the ‘begin’ point, because you’re going to
begin Scene 4 where Scene 2 left off.
When you finish programming Scene 4, press the Scene key
repeatedly until you get back to Scene List number 3. Now,
Play or Fast-Forward to the scene with the kids eating
birthday cake, and program that scene.
You’ve programmed all four scenes. Now, press Stop to stop
the 8mm deck, then press the Copy Tape key. The 8mm/VHS
Dual-Deck VCR will automatically copy Scene 1 (opening
the toy car), then Scene 2 (opening the tool kit), then Scene
3 (eating cake), then Scene 4 (playing with toys).
Manual Assembly Editing
You can also do assembly editing manually on the 8mm/VHS
Dual-Deck VCR. Let’s say that you have a scene of all the
kids leaving the birthday party, but this scene is on a
different 8mm tape. Here’s how you would add that scene to
the end of the VHS tape you just made:
1. Insert the 8mm tape with the new scene, and the VHS
tape of the birthday party.
2. Make sure the VHS deck is the active deck (check the
front panel indicator light, and press
8mm / VHS
if you need
to switch deck control).
3. Play the VHS tape to the last frame of the last scene,
Tip:
You might find manual editing
easier if you change the
RECORD SOURCE in the VHS
Menu to 8mm, change AUTO
PLAY/REW in the AUTO
FEATURES MENU to OFF, and
perform your edit with the On
Screen Display turned on.
Tip:
If you play the 8mm tape too far,
you can Rewind it and then play
back to your Begin or End point.
You can also Pause the 8mm
deck, and then press the Begin
or End key. However, Automatic
Assembly Editing works best
when you do as little "fine-
tuning" of your tape location as
possible. Try to avoid playing
and backing up too much, and
your edit points will be much
more accurate.
