logged clips default to the next number, such as “Car Chase 02.”
•
You can change Capture Window settings at any time. For example, if you see the action
changing as the tape plays back, you can get ready to capture the new upcoming
action by selecting a different bin to log subsequent clips into or by typing in a different
Description or Scene name. You don’t have to stop the tape as you change settings.
•
You can operate the DV device and log clips using the keyboard. See the tool tips for
Capture Window controls, or choose Edit > Keyboard Customization to view or change
the shortcuts.
•
You must click Log Clip to create a new offline file. This pauses the tape as you confirm
the clip data for the new offline file.
To log clips interactively:
1
Make sure that your DV device is online, then choose File > Capture. You can also open
the Capture window with a keyboard shortcut; the default shortcut is F5.
2
In the Logging tab, enter the settings you want to use as the defaults for Setup
and Clip Data.
3
Play the tape.
4
Click Set In or Set Out at any time, even as the tape plays back.
5
When you are satisfied with the In and Out points, click Log Clip, verify the clip data, and
click OK.
6
Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary.
For detailed information, see “Logging clips as offline files for batch capture” on page 72.
You can make slight timecode adjustments by typing relative timecode using the +
(plus) or – (minus) signs. For example, if you want to add 5 frames to the end of the
Out point, select the entire Out point timecode, type +5, and press Enter.
Batch-capturing tips
When you want to batch-capture a set of logged (offline) clips, simply select them in the
Project window and use the File > Batch Capture command, which is also available when
you right-click selected offline files. If you organized offline clips into bins, you can
batchcapture
an entire bin by selecting the bin.

Adobe Premiere Pro can capture video in the background so that you can perform other
tasks during capture. However, be aware that dropped frames may result if you perform a
system-intensive task while capturing. The chance of dropped frames is lower on a
highperformance
system.
For detailed information, see “Batch-capturing clips” on page 75.
If you require basic information about capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro, see “Capture
checklist” on page 63.
Using device control
You can use Adobe Premiere Pro and
device control
to simplify and automate video
capture and to export sequences to tape. Device control lets you precisely control the
device and view its source video directly from Adobe Premiere Pro, instead of operating
both Adobe Premiere Pro and the controls on the device. With device control, you can use
the Capture window to log each clip and then record all logged clips automatically. You
can use device control to capture video from or export video to analog or digital video
decks or cameras that support device control. Adobe Premiere Pro includes built-in
support for DV device control.
