To maintain the balance after finishing an edit, the OVERLAY/END switch must be in which mode?

• A. Fwd/Rev switch in Fwd
• B. Overlay/End switch in Edit
• C. Overlay/End switch in Overlay
• D. Fwd/Rev switch in Edit

Answer: (C)

When you’re finishing an edit that used an overlay to add or adjust information, you want that overlay to stay active so it remains properly aligned with the base material. Setting the overlay control to Overlay keeps the overlay content in effect, preserving timing and alignment as you complete the edit. Switching to End would terminate the overlay, breaking that alignment and leaving the output unbalanced. The other switchs (which control playback direction) don’t determine whether the overlay remains applied, so they don’t achieve the needed result. So, keep the Overlay/End switch in Overlay to maintain balance after finishing the edit.
