Inserting into a file

1. After opening the application, the first step is to load the patch in the source monitor and the file to be patched in the target monitor.

2. Set the in and out points in the target monitor for the area to be replaced.

3. Set the in and out points in the source monitor for the patch. After setting three of the four points, the fourth point is automatically calculated from the duration. This is referred to as a “3 point edit” If the timecodes in both files match, you can set just the in/out points in one monitor and then select “copy in to other” or “copy out to other” Bear in mind that the out point is the beginning of the unmodified part of the target clip following the insert. In other words, as with VTRs, the out point is excluded from the insert.

4. With all in and out points selected, audio routed, and tracks armed, you are ready to start the actual insert edit.
