6-2-2 Animation Editing
Animation editing is a form of insert editing which makes
it easier to record a succession of still frames in fixed field
or frame units. The procedure for editing after selecting
animation editing is exactly the same as for normal insert
editing.
To select animation editing, use the VTR SETUP menu
item 301 “EDIT OPERATION MODE”.
normal: Selects normal insert editing.
CG: Selects editing in frame units, principally for
recording computer graphics (CG).
When the edit completes, the OUT point
automatically becomes the next IN point, and the next
OUT point is set automatically with 1 frame added.
Follow the procedure below to perform animation editing.

The OUT point is set automatically.

6-2-3 Preread Editing
Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the
tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This
type of editing is called preread editing, as the VTR uses
preread heads to read signals in advance. Signals that are
read in advance can be sent to mixers for mixing, then
recorded to the original channels or other digital audio
channels.
The preread editing settings are performed with the ALT/
[F1] (PRE READ) buttons in the HOME menu.
For details on the settings, see “4-2-4 Preread Settings
(PRE READ)” on page 52.
