Avid Cinema: Error In Tutorial (6/97)

I am learning to use Avid Cinema by going through the "Making Movies" tutorial. However, I get an error message when trying one of the special effects. How can I avoid this?
In Avid Cinema 1.1 or 1.1.1 (not 1.0), if you follow along with the "Create special effects" section of the Making Movies tutorial you will receive the error "Recording failed. Please try again" when trying to apply the Peel effect. To avoid this error when working through the tutorial, do not lengthen the effect as described in Step 4.
