11. A/B Rolls—For Users With a Mixer or Switcher
A.
DISPLAY THE LAST EVENT IN YOUR EDL:
Press [down arrow] until
the second event you created is displayed, or press [GO TO]+[down
arrow].
B.
CREATE A SCENE EVENT FOR A DIFFERENT SOURCE:
Press the
VCR Selector key for one of your other sources, play that source to locate a
section of video to record, then press [SHIFT]+[IN] to create a new event.
Assuming you only had two events in your EDL, the new event is
assigned Event number 003.
C.
ADD THE OUT TIME TO THE NEW EVENT:
Use the jog/shuttle or
transport keys to move to the end of the video for the new scene and press
[OUT].
You now have three completed scenes in your EDL. All that is required to
create an A/B Roll is to add an MX1 or a MIXER Event between the last
two scene events.
D.
DISPLAY EVENT 002
: Use the up/down arrow keys to display the "A"
event for the A/B Roll. This should be event 002.
E.
ADD AN MX1 OR MIXER EVENT
: Press GPI-M (underneath the OUT
key). Depending on how you configured the GPI-M port in Step 7, either
an MX1 or a MIXER Event will be created between the last two scene
events. Your EDL should look similar to one of these lists.

The arrows on events 002 and 003 indicate that these events are part of a
logical group. In this case, the group is scene event 002, the MX1 or
MIXER transition, and scene event 003.
In the MX1 Event, FX is the MX-1 transition number, DI is the direction,
SP is the speed, BG is the background color, and BC is the border color. A
blank for a border color indicates that a border is not used. The speed
determines the duration of the transition; this information is
preprogrammed in Edit Suite. When the scenes are recorded, Edit Suite
automatically sets up the MX-1 for the correct
current
and
next
sources.
