Safety Nets

Allows you set up an In and an Out point on the timeline so thatautomation on either side of these two points is protected against further

changes.

For example, if a scene is inserted into a finished film, it only allows

automation data to be written between these two points, but protectalready-written automation.

The values for either field can either be entered manually, or selected bydouble clicking the relevant label.

The Use Closest Labels On Activate tickbox ensures that whenActivate Safety Nets is ticked, it will grab the two closest label timesand presume that these are the Before and After values.

> To place the current timecode value into either the Before or Afterfields, click the relevant GT (Grab Time) button.

> The >> and << buttons will transfer the timecode value from one fieldinto the other.

> Click OK.

Once the In and Out times have been set and the feature turned on thisinformation will be displayed on-screen.

> You can also turn Safety Nets On/Off by placing a tick in the box belowSafety on the main Encore screen.

Once Safety Nets have been turned on, the In and Out times will be

displayed across the bottom of the main Encore screen.

The circle above the timecode display will show a countdown-swipe for 5

seconds before the In time and 5 seconds before the Out time:• If the circle underneath is red, you are currently inside the In and

Out times.

• If the circle underneath is green, you are currently outside the Inand Out times.

If you try and record any automation on the console when Safety Nets areactive, even though you are in Record, the mode buttons on the consolewill flash green to indicate that Encore is not recording automation data.
