EZ Capture
The Logging Tool and Its Functions
The Logging Tool is used for logging and digitizing (=capturing) material played from either a live source
or a controllable player. In other words, it defines every aspect of clips from their length to their volume
level and even their Media Format.
To op e n
the Logging Tool, press the F6 KEY on the keyboard or select File > Capture.
To c l os e
the Logging Tool click the exit symbol in the upper right corner.
This section describes the individual functions
of the Logging Tool (sometimes also applicable to Batch
Digitize); logging and digitizing methods
are described in the subsequent section ( page 146).
