VIDEO CAPTURE: CHAPTER TWO 91
6. Select the Capture audio option to capture audio along with your video.
(This is disabled if you do not have a sound card, your video capture
board does not have sound capabilities, or you are performing a manual
capture.)
Note:
If you want to change the current audio and video characteristics, click the
respective Audio and Video buttons.
7.
Select the Auto-naming option to save each capture as consecutively
numbered files. This file takes its name from the file name in the
following File entry box, replacing the last four characters with se-
quential numbers. For example, if the file name you specify is called
"
VID
"
, captured files will be called,
VID 0001
,
VID 0002,
and so on.
8.
Enter the name to save the file to in the File entry box.
9.
Select the Save to library option to save the captured file to a library
in Video Editor.
If you save a file to the library, you can then go straight to Video Editor
and drag-and-drop the file into a video project. This is also useful for
batch captures as the library creates an icon for each captured file
which you can then use to storyboard and arrange before placing your
work into a video project.
10.
Click OK. Video Capture begins capturing according to your settings.
If you chose to capture manually, the Manual Capture dialog box opens
displaying two buttons, Next and Cancel. Click Next to capture a
single frame: Cancel to end capturing.
Notes:
•
When you click OK to start capturing, there may be a slight delay before any
capture takes place. This is because many machines first clear all available
memory. For best results, start your capture a few seconds before the video
you want to record appears in the video window.
• If you are in Preview mode when capturing the displayed video, the video may
freeze. If this happens, click Capture: Display When Capturing. This
allows the video to continue displaying while capturing. (This may, however,
adversely affect the performance of your capture as it requires additional
resources and as such frames may be dropped.)
