Logging Tool (Capture)
You can use the Logging Tool to view tapes and
digitize audio/video.
1 Select File > Logging Tool.
2 Enter a name for the tape (=Reel) cur-
rently loaded in the camera.
IMPORTANT: Never use the same Reel
name more than once in a Project.
3 Click the filmstrip button to open a dia-
log box and create a new Rack (see illus-
tration on the right).
A Rack is a “container” for the clips.
4 You can now start generating clips. In the
simplest case (preset), click the Play but-
ton to start the tape. Then click the
Digitize button to begin the transfer.
5 Click the Digitize button once again to
stop. The clip is stored in the Rack.
1 Recording from DV/HDV Video Tapes (Capture)
In Avid Liquid, transferring images from tape to the hard disk of the editing computer is called “cap-
ture” or “digitizing”. This process generates media files and clips, which are the most important ele-
ments of your film.
