The operator projects motion-picture film using a projector. A counter counts frame pulses during both forwards and reverse film transport, and thereby keeps track at all times of the film frame count. The operator during forwards projection when he sees the start or end of a scene pressss a storage switch which causes the scene-start or scene-end frame count to be stored. The operator also preselects the type of recording-transition effect to be implemented. The operator then commands dubbing of the scene, whereupon a minicomputer begins to automatically implement a series of operations, including projector motor control and recording control, to implement the selected recording-transition effect, in a programmed manner dependent upon the stored frame counts and the instantaneous frame count. In the middle of the dubbing of a scene, the operator can change the transition effect he selects, to produce a transition effect at the scene end different from that selected for the scene start.
