As you log clips, feel free to adjust options as necessary as the content on the tape
changes. For example, as the tape plays back, you can adjust the Log Clips To Bin or the
Clip Data options as you anticipate an upcoming scene. Or if you clicked Set In or Set Out
a
little earlier or later than you intended to, you can type in a new timecode or slide the In or
Out point slightly by dragging the timecode numbers to the left or right.
7. Batch-capture logged clips.
You can batch-capture any clips you’ve logged, as long as your capture device is online.
Select offline files in the Project window, choose File > Batch Capture, and click OK.
You’ll see options in the Batch Capture dialog box, but you do not need to use them unless
you want to override the default capture settings. When batch capture finishes, the offline
clips in the Project window are replaced with the captured clips.
If you simply want to capture one or two clips quickly, there’s no need to log clips in
advance. Use the device controls in the Capture window to find the first frame you want to
capture and click Set In. Use the controls to find the last frame you want to capture, click
Set Out, and then click In/Out in the Capture section. When the clip is captured, enter clip
data when asked.

Generate a Sequence Automatically
Of all filmmaking tools, few are as useful as the storyboard. Before you shoot, a storyboard
helps you visualize and plan your project. During production—when you're acquiring
shots out of sequence, sometimes days apart—a storyboard can preserve your sense of
continuity. So once the shots are complete, it only seems natural to arrange them into
storyboard form before committing them to a rough cut. With Adobe
®
Premiere
®
Pro, you
can organize clips in the Project window in storyboard fashion, then generate a sequence
automatically with video and audio transitions.
1. Set up the Project window.
In the Project window’s pop-up menu, choose View > Icon to display your clips in a
storyboard-
style grid. Go to the Project window’s pop-up menu again and choose Thumbnails
> Off to uncheck the option and make the clips appear as thumbnail images. To change
the size of the thumbnails, choose Thumbnails and select the size you prefer. Resize the
Project window to show all of your clips if necessary.

2. Set each clip’s thumbnail image.
Select a clip to view it in the preview area at the top of the Project window. Press the Play
button next to the preview image, or drag the scroll bar under the preview image to cue
the clip to a representative frame. When you’ve found an image that best signifies the
clip’s contents, click the Poster Frame button to set the clip’s thumbnail image.
If you do not set the poster frame, each clip’s In point (initially, a clip’s first frame) is used
as
the thumbnail image. Even if you change the In point later for editing, it may not make the
best representative frame in a storyboard.
