Troubleshooting batch capture
You can perform trouble-free batch captures if device control and the project’s capture
settings are set up properly and if the offline files you logged are consistent and free of
conflicting data. If you encounter problems with batch capture, make sure that all clips
you want to batch capture are set up with the proper settings:
•
Each clip’s Status must be Offline. Verify this in the Project window List view. If
necessary, select the clip in the Project window and choose Project > Unlink Media. If
you select multiple clips and some are online, Adobe Premiere Pro captures the offline
files only.
•
Tape Name, Media Start, and Media End must be specified in the Edit Offline File dialog
box for each offline file. As long as one selected offline file contains these settings, the
Batch Capture command is available, but only clips with all three required settings will
actually be captured. If necessary, verify this in the Project window List view or doubleclick
each offline file to edit settings.
•
Recording video, audio, or both must be supported by the selected capture device. For
example, audio isn’t captured if the capture device doesn’t capture audio. If settings
exist that can’t be captured, batch capture stops and the Capture Settings Error dialog
box appears.
•
The filename of each clip (as specified in the Capture Settings dialog box) must not
conflict with a clip that already exists. If necessary, double-click each offline file to verify
this. If this isn’t resolved before you attempt a batch capture, Adobe Premiere Pro
slightly alters the filename of the clip so that batch capture can continue.
To manage capture errors when the Capture Settings Error dialog box appears:
Do one of the following:
•
To fix the capture settings for any clips in the list, select one or more files in the list and
click Edit Settings.
•
To omit the clips with invalid capture settings and proceed with the rest of the batch
capture, click Skip. Clips you skip are removed from the list and not captured.
•
To apply the project’s current Capture Settings to any clips in the list, select the clips
and click Apply Defaults.
•
To stop batch capture, click Cancel. No clips will be captured.
Importing and exporting batch lists
You can import a batch list as a tab-delimited text (.TXT) file or a comma-separated value
(.CSV) text file. When imported, each entry in the text batch list appears as an offline file in
the Project window. You can also export offline files as a .CSV batch list so that you can
transfer a logged clip list between projects and workstations. To see the format of a batch
