Automatic assembly process where all edits from mounted reels are made, and edits for unmounted reels are skipped. Example: Reels 5, 29, and 44 are mounted on VTRs. The editing system looks at the list and assembles all edits that have reel numbers 5, 29, and 44 assigned to them, inserting these events at the exact spot on the master tape where they belong.
