31 Example 2: You have recorded a television program but would like to remove certain sections before the program started, parts during the program, and the program afterwards because you had recorded a little extra. In this case, you would make a Start mark (a) at time 00:00 and then forward to the end of what you want to delete and make your End mark (b), and choose Remove selected part. This part of the video recording will now be cut out. Fast-forward to the center of the recording and make a Start Mark (c) where the section that you want to delete begins, and make an End mark (d) when it finishes. Again, choose the Remove selected part action icon and this section will be cut out. Do the same for the final section that you want to cut out. IMPORTANT NOTE When you pause at a given point to make a Start or End Mark, the actual point of the cut will be the nearest I-Frame. I-Frames are special frames in the video file which come about every one to four seconds. The editor can cut ONLY at an I-Frame. It is thus recommended that when you pause at the point you want to make your Start or End mark, that you click the LEFT button once (will jump to the previous I-frame) and then click the RIGHT button (shows the next I-frame) so that you can see your choice of I-Frames to cut at. Go to the I-Frame you desire and then set your Mark. Trying to set a mark between I-Frames is ineffective since the AV 700 will just choose the closest I-Frame. 32 31 1. Play the file and pause at the spot you want to make your Start mark. Select the Set a mark-in here action icon. Let the video play - you will notice a small blue mark. 2. Now click on Pause at the location you want to mark the end of your segment. Select the Set a mark-out action icon. Now that you have defined a segment in the video, you can click the Remove selected part or Keep selected part action icon. Although the set-mark action icons are available, you can only mark one segment at a time. 3. Continue to select or delete other segments as in 2. Once satisfied with your edits, you can Save the selection which keeps the edit points and allows you to re-edit another time, or you can Save Selection as a new File which will create a new edited file named (name_Edit0000). 32

When you pause at a given point to make a Start or End Mark, the actual point of the cut will be the
