Collect Touch
This can be toggled on and off as required for manual punch-in and punch-out, or the Safety Nets can be set
and used as automatic punch-in and punch-out points.
A typical use of Collect Touch is in making scene changes. The most common example of this is a telephone
conversation where the scene cuts from one participant to the other, requiring instant changes to the dialogue
to create the 'voice down a phone-line' sound.
