When you press the "Record", LiveCut will do the following:

  •  Create a new LiveCut file (in the 1 project folder).
  •  Trigger the Just In Engine QuickTime engine to start recording.
  •  Start the EDL event recording process.
  •  Stop the recording, once the "Stop" button is pressed.
  •  The XML is automatically exported to your NLE of choice, opened and made ready for final trimming.
  •  LiveCut will increase the "Take" amount by 1, and wait for the Just In Engine QuickTime engine to get ready again (indicated in the status area).
  •  Start a new recording (new take), once the "Record" button is pressed again. 


This is probably one of the simplest multi-camera recording workflows available. LiveCut turns into a single-button application (Start / Stop recording) when you use this special workflow feature. To disable the "Auto Counter" option and proceed with the manual workflow, click its checkbox to deselect it.
