NoteWhen you open a VTR archive in read/write mode, Flame Premium performs an auto-test. The auto-test involves checking whether it can write, read, and verify the integrity of the archived
material. This auto-test also scans binary and play/record delay information to verify the quality and accuracy of the video
signal.
To open a VTR archive:
- Insert the archive tape in the VTR.
- In Flame Premium, select .
- Select the VTR from the list of Local Devices.
- Select the start timecode by doing one of the following:
- Select Autostart if you selected this option when you created the archive (the archive rewinds the tape to find the start
timecode).
- Select Manual Start and enter the appropriate timecode if you selected this option when you created the archive.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Open Archive. Select Open Read/Write or Open Read Only from the Open Mode box.
NoteWhen you try to open a VTR archive in read/write mode, Flame Premium automatically checks for machine errors (for example, dirty heads). If any problem is detected, the archive does not open.
If the tape is write-protected, the archive opens in read-only mode.
- To use the OTOC, click the Open Using OTOC button and select the OTOC in the file browser. You are given the option to read
slates from the tape. Answer 'Y' if you wish to see clip proxies.
- Either the VTR gets cued and once it is done reading the archive, displays its contents in the MediaHub. Either restore clips
one by one using drag and drop, or click Restore Project to restore a full project.
- Click Close Archive.
