Tell everyone in the room to be quiet because you are about to record a voice-over. Problems with the video bits and pieces I need to black a tape. Get a blank tape from the large box of blank tapes under the edit suite. Make sure your chosen tape has a red dot in the back of it. Now put this tape in the edit recorder and rewind it.
Press play and record on the edit controller.
Make sure you wind 30 seconds or so into the tape before you start your edit. Why is the recorder not recording pictures properly any more - it did on the last edit. By this I mean you should have blacked the tape for longer because you have just run out of blacked tape to record on. Don't panic, though, you are about to discover the joys of assemble editing . Go to the edit controller and turn off all the audio and video channels.
