Indexing from a particular point
Sometimes it is useful to generate a scene list starting from a particular point on the tape instead of from the entire tape. To have Raptor Navi scan your tape from a particular point instead of beginning of the tape: 1. Position the tape at the point where you want to start indexing using the Deck controller. Clips will appear in the scene list as Raptor Navi identifies them

Important note about Timecode
If your tape has discontinuous timecode, or timecode that repeats the same value, you may have problems using Raptor Navi. Raptor Navi may not be able to pre-roll the deck if it rewinds beyond the zero point and into previous timecode. It is a common practice to "black" or "stripe" new tapes by recording black over the entire tape in one pass to establish continuous timecode. If you have to remove and reinsert a tape without timecode while recording, after reinserting the tape, rewind it to a point where there is timecode, and continue recording from that point. Also, it is good practice to record 10-20 seconds of black "leader" at the beginning of each tape.
