>> horizontal bar scroll between animations, that is, one animation stops, and the other starts, when the other starts, there is a one time horizontal scroll, very annoying. Not sure exactly what your setup is but for starters: You can only do A/B roll editing with two source decks that are genlocked (common sync). This is accomplished two ways. through two TBC's with common sync or a frame store synchronizer feeding the switcher. If you are trying to do a cuts only edit you need the following: A source feeder deck, an edit controller, and an edit recorder. The edit recorder has to be equipped with rotary erase heads. Do all your editing as insert edits to a pre black stripped tape. Assemble editing to a blank tape is not as desirable because it produces less accurate control tracks. Pre stripe your tapes with a good stable source like a camera output or a black frame from your targa composite out. Finally make sure the any switches on your decks are set for internal sync.
