Batch Capture
To log clips for batch capture:
Step 1.
Choose Tools > Capture to open the Capture Tool.
Step 2.
Click on the Capture/Log Mode button so it displays the LOG icon.
Step 3.
Configure video and audio input, video and audio source tracks, target bin, res, target drive and
tape name the same way as in "Capture from non-controllable devices".
Step 4.
Use the Deck Controller Window, or use the standard j, k, l shortcut keys, to shuttle backwards,
pause and shuttle forwards on the deck and locate the video you want to capture.
Step 5.
Click the Mark IN/OUT button, to the left of the LOG button. The icon will alternate between IN
and OUT so you only have to click the one button to mark all your in and out points. This can be
more convenient that using the separate Mark IN and Mark OUT buttons in the Deck Controller
Window. Alternatively use the "i" and "o" keys on the keyboard to mark in and out points.
Step 6.
When you have finished logging in and out points, open the logging bin, select the clips you want
to capture.
Step 7.
Choose Clip > Batch Capture, select the desired options in the resulting dialog box and click OK.
Recording to Tape
Once you have captured your clips, dragged them in to the timeline, edited them and applied and rendered
any effects, you will want to record the completed project to tape.
Step 1.
Double-click on a sequence, in your project bin, to open it into the Timeline window.
Step 2.
Choose Output > Digital Cut to open the Digital Cut Tool.
Step 3.
Set Output Mode to Real-Time, Bit Depth to 10-bit, and Deck Control to Remote.
Step 4.
From the Edit Menu, choose to Insert Edit or Assemble Edit for precise edits onto a timecode
striped tape. Alternatively choose Crash Record for an easy way to record. If Insert Edit is the
only option, go to the Settings tab in your project, double-click on Deck Preferences and enable
"Allow assemble edit & crash record for digital cut".
Step 5.
If a deck name appears in italics in the Deck Selection menu, or "NO DECK" is displayed, click
the menu and select Check Decks one or more times, until the deck is listed without italics, to
reestablish deck control.
Step 6.
Press the Play Digital Cut button (red triangle icon) to record your sequence to tape.
Step 5. Click on the Mark IN/OUT button or use the "i" and "o"
keys on the keyboard to mark in and out points.
The Digital Cut Tool is used for recording to tape.
