Set the storage location for your captured video and audio. Click the ‘browse’ button
to point the software to a folder on your computer.

Choose whether to stop capture or playback if dropped frames are detected.
Standard definition projects use the 4:3 aspect ratio unless you enable the ‘use anamorphic
SD 16:9’ checkbox.
Applications will normally stop playing video if you send them to the background. Tick the
checkbox ‘continue playback when in the background’ if you want Media Express to keep
playing video even if you open another application.
The final options relate to tape decks with RS-422 deck control and include pre-roll and
timecode offsets.
Capture
To capture video, all you need to do is connect a video source, wait for Blackmagic Media
Express to detect your input and press the ‘capture’ button.
