to set up device control from the Capture window because you can set up additional
capture settings, such as capture locations, in the same window.
To set up a project for device control:
1
If you want captured clips to be saved to a specific bin in a project, make sure that the
project is open and the bin exists in the Project window. See “Using bins” on page 48.
2
Choose File > Capture.
3
In the Settings tab, click Edit to verify that the capture settings are appropriate for your
device.
4
If device control has not been set up, choose a device from the Devices menu and click
Options to set it up, if necessary. See “Setting up device control equipment” on page 68. If
you choose an analog capture device, options vary depending on the device—see the
documentation for your device driver.
5
Test the device control buttons to verify that they work and that you see video in the
Capture window preview.
6
In the Capture Locations section, make sure that the drives you designate for captured
video and audio have sufficient free space. If you want to change the locations, choose
Custom from the Video or Audio menu, click the corresponding Browse button, set the
location, and click OK.
7
Click the Logging tab. In the Setup section, make sure that the Capture menu setting is
correct and select a bin from the list if needed. If no bin is selected or the bin list is empty,
captured clips appear in the Project window.

Enter information into the Logging Data section as needed.
Note: To avoid confusion, make sure that the Tape Name is unique. Some types of device
control software may ask you to specify the Tape Name each time you insert a new tape.
The other Logging Data options aren’t required.
Using Capture window device controls
You can use the controls in the Capture window to operate the device as you log clips.
The
jog control lets you navigate quickly to nearby frames, and the shuttle control lets you
change the speed of the tape as you play it forward or backward. The Record button lets
you begin a manual capture.
If you press the Rewind button when the tape is stopped, the device rewinds the tape
at full speed. If you rewind when the tape is playing or paused, the device rewinds while
displaying video in the Capture window. You can press the J key to rewind at regular
speed, or press J multiple times to increase the rewinding speed.
If you press the Fast Forward button when the tape is stopped, the device moves the
tape forward at full speed. If you fast forward when the tape is playing or paused, the
device moves the tape forward while displaying video in the Capture window. You can
press the L key to fast forward the tape at regular speed, or press L multiple times to
increase the forwarding speed.
