opportunity to apply the same capture settings to all of the offline files you selected,
overriding the settings of individual offline files.
To see whether a clip has capture settings:
Look in the Capture Settings column in the Project window. If you can’t find the column,
you may have to scroll the Project window sideways to reveal this column, or the column
may be hidden. (To reveal hidden columns, choose Edit Columns from the Project window
menu, select them in the list, and click OK.)
To change a clip’s capture settings:
Select the clip in the Project window and choose Clip Capture Settings > Set Capture
Settings.
To remove a clip’s capture settings:
Select the clip in the Project window and choose Clip > Clear Capture Settings.
To specify extra frames to be captured at the ends of each batch-list entry:
1
Choose Handles from the Batch Capture window menu.
2
Type the number of frames of additional video that you want to capture before the In
point and after the Out point of the clip, and click OK.

Using automatic scene detection
Instead of manually logging In and Out points, you may want to use the Scene Detect
feature. Scene Detect analyzes the video for scene breaks indicated by the tape’s
timecode, such as those caused when you press the camera’s pause button while
recording. When Scene Detect is on and you perform a capture, Adobe Premiere Pro
automatically captures a separate file at each scene break it detects. Scene Detect works
whether you are capturing an entire tape or specific In and Out points. If you turn on
Scene Detect and capture using In and Out points, Scene Detect may break up clips
between the defined In and Out points if a scene break is detected.
To turn on automatic scene detection:
In the Capture window, do any of the following:
•
Click the Scene Detect button below the image.
•
Select Scene Detect in the Capture section of the Logging tab.
•
Choose Scene Detect from the Capture window menu.
Batch-capturing clips
When you finish logging clips, you’re ready to batch-capture the clips. Unless specific clips
use their own capture settings, Adobe Premiere Pro captures the offline files using the
capture settings that were specified when the clips were logged. See “Specifying
batchcapture
settings” on page 74. Choosing the Batch Capture command starts the batchcapturing
process for clips selected in the Project window.
For efficient capture, Adobe Premiere Pro captures clips from the start of a tape to the end
regardless of the order in which you selected the offline files. If you select offline files to be
captured from multiple tapes, Adobe Premiere Pro captures each tape’s clips in one pass,
so you have to insert each tape only once.
To batch-capture clips:
1
In the Project window, select the offline files you want to capture or select a bin
containing the offline files you want to capture.
2
Choose File > Batch Capture.
3
If needed, specify a Handle Length to capture extra frames before and after the In and
Out points specified for each clip (see “About clip handles and transitions” on page 170).

Do one of the following:
