3-2 Operations for Nonlinear Editing
(Operations in Cut Units)
You can use the MAVE-F555 and an MAVE-D555 or BVE-series editor to
operate the MAV-555 and conduct nonlinear editing operations such as adding
or deleting a cut (operations that were not possible with only the conventional
BVE-series editor).
Note
To carry out the nonlinear editing operations described in this section, it is
necessary to set the MAV-555 operation mode to BVE mode.
For more details, refer to the MAV-555 Operation Manual.
Definition of “Cut”
The term cut in this section refers to the unit in which you carry out editing,
and to the editing unit within the editing result file. For example, suppose that
using two files A and B you create the following editing result file.
File A
File B
Editing result file
(A) (B)
Here the sections (A) and (B) cut from files A and B are termed cuts. The
editing result file consists of the two cuts (A) and (B), and these parts of the
editing result file are also referred to as cuts.
The start and end points of each cut within the editing result file are termed
cut points.
