The Gang Timecode to Tape option
Insert/Assemble Drop-down Menu
A drop-down menu under the In and Out buttons lets you choose how to edit the selected part of the Timeline to tape. There are two options:
— Insert: Performs an insert edit to tape, in which selected tape tracks are seamlessly and frame- accurately overwritten without interrupting the timecode or control track. You must be outputting to either a blacked tape, or a prerecorded tape to make an insert edit.
— Assemble: Performs an assemble edit, in which every track of tape is overwritten, including the video, audio, timecode, and control tracks.
— Crash: (Only appears if “Output Source Timecode” has been enabled in the Playout section of the Capture and Playback panel of the Project Settings) Similar to an assemble edit, except there is no pre-roll period to let the VTR get up to speed. A crash edit also overwrites every track of the tape, including the video, audio, timecode, and control tracks, and may result in a more visible jump

at the resulting edit point. However, in some instances crash edits may be the only option for a particular operation.

Before you perform an edit to tape, the Capture and Playback panel of the Project Settings has a number of options that you should set to match the format and type of tape output you’re doing.
