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.

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.
