Batch Capturing from Logged Clips
241
Preparing to Batch Capture
Before you batch capture, you need to establish settings that allow the batch capture to take place
with minimal supervision.
Because your clips are already logged in a bin, you can simplify the interface during batch
capture by hiding the deck controller and logging controls in the Capture tool. You can hide any
other panels in the Capture tool in a similar way.
Unattended batch capturing lets you capture a large number of clips with minimal supervision by
selecting Capture settings that avoid a pause in the capture process.
To prepare for unattended batch capturing:
1. Double-click Capture in the Settings list in the Project window.
The Capture Settings dialog box opens.
2. Click the Batch tab and select the following options:
t Log errors to the console and continue capturing
t Switch to the emptiest drive if current drive is full
For additional options, see
“Capture Settings: Batch Tab” on page 1355. You can also view
this information by clicking the dialog box and pressing the F1 key (Windows) or the Help
key (Macintosh).
3. Click the General tab and select “Capture across timecode breaks.”
For more information, see
“Selecting Settings for Preroll Method and for Capturing Across
Timecode Breaks” on page 173
.
4. Click OK.

You cannot batch capture clips that contain timecode breaks between the logged IN and
OUT points. Also, you cannot capture across breaks in the recording (that is, if the
recorded footage breaks up into noise between shots). If such breaks in recording exist on
your tape, consider using the methods described in “Capturing On-the-Fly” on page 227.
