Tips
To make a video archive creation easier for you, please follow some instructions while video recording:
- Record your video from the beginning of a tape.
- Do not rewind a tape to the beginning after a recording.
- Press the Stop button as soon as possible if you are recording a wrong scene.
Rewind a tape to the end of the previous scene if the wrong recorded scene is longer than 3 seconds.
You should not find exactly the end of the previous scene, you have to be sure a wrong scene is less than 3 seconds only.
The tips listed above are not required. They only help you to make a movie creation easier.
