Editing Features
The CC285 incorporates a package of
advanced editing features to make it
easy and fun to edit your home videos
like a professional. The major editing
features are described here and on the
next three pages.
Flying Erase Head
Edit Search
Synchro Edit
Audio Dubbing
Video Dubbing
- Flying Erase Head
A separate erase head is mounted
on the spinning headwheel (hence
the term "flying"). This allows you
to make clean edits without
"glitches" or the "rainbow noise"
that occurs on VCR's and
camcorders without flying erase
heads.
Edit Search
Edit Search means that you can use
the F.FWD (fast-forward), REW
(rewind), and PLAr buttons to
precisely position the tape even
while the CAMERA/PLAYBACK
switch is in the CAMERA position.
Since you can do this while the
camcorder is in the camera mode,
without the tape unloading, it is
possible to precisely position the
tape for the next scene-eliminating
the "between-scene glitches" that
are common on camcorders
without this feature.
To permit smooth editing while
recording, the F.FWD, REW, and
PLAY buttons can be pressed while
the CAMERA/PLA YBACK switch is in
CAMERA mode.
REW PLAY FFWD
Holding REW lets you quickly
reverse scan recorded material.
Holding F.FWD lets you quickly
forward scan recorded material.
Holding PLAY lets you view
recorded material at normal
speed. When you release the
PLAY button, the camcorder will
stop playing and prepare to
record at that spot.
