Hi Bryan,

at the moment you can use the "-5", "-10" or "-20" button in live mode only to create a event with in and out point (or in and out step by step). After that you can change the in point with the mouse (click and track the in point in the event table).

In my opinion it will be great to have a "New Event" button to tell the software now i will create a new event with the next in point. before you use this button you can edit the in and out point of the last or selected event by using the in and out button again and again.

Hi Martin,

so we have the behavior, I have describe in my Feature Request.

Thanks Martin,

I did not know this was possible! How would you suggest we jog or cue with decent control and accuracy to find and set the inpoint when in Live mode?

I guess that's why a lot of us are saying we need jog wheel control to wind backwards once we mark the out point.

Cheers
Bryan

Hi everybody,

wow, we spread out over three threads now..... ;-)

Martin pointed me to this one as it refers to all we we´re talking about.

But Bryan, to be honest, I never did a "Mark In" or "Mark Out" directly on the moving live picture. On the EVS you have a simple "Cue" Button which is a kind of a information marker, you set them as much as you want, and with a button "Last Cue" you jump back from Cue to Cue as you made them for quick reference what action you wanted to mark for you.
But the actual "Mark In/Out" for a clip I always do by 1) first job back and forwards to find the exact In-point, Mark In there (if I´m in a hurry just play your replay from there without really knowing the end, I´ll have to watch the scene anyway so find the out point on the fly and shout to the vision mixer "Out please".
Then move on to your excat Out-point and hit "Mark Out".
So I would not use any direct Mark-In function at all.
Auto-changing In and Out of vmix regarding the timecode is nice, I did not realized that could be done, too!

Anyway, we´re all coming back to the point that we would need a real "Live" mode were the operator can see the really live image of your inputs - and once you jog back you are automatically watch your recordings.
I understand Martin very well what´s the problem of CPU power and write/read cycles of the actual recording, that´s the main task all manufacturers dealing with. I remembered the first time on a Newtek system, even before they came out with it I had the chance to give it a go - same there, there was no chance to directly roll back from your live action as they had a really huge buffer - as Martin said 1 second delayed from live would be the nearest point.

But I would say that´s something we have to deal with a lower cost system, if we design the rest around it so you can handle it.

Martin, I´ll follow up your technical explanations on the other post and see what can be done....

Cheers

Yes please Martin,

Can we try this:

1. "ReplayMarkInLastFrame"
a) Drag position bar to the most recently recorded frame
b) MarkIn
c) Disable Live Mode

2. Move the shuttle wheel backwards to find starting point

3. MarkOut and go back to Live

Cheers Bryan

Martin,

Are you able to add this new short-cut in now?

Added a button and shortcut that will jump to the most recent recorded frame and go to Recorded mode.

Cheers Bryan
