12. Click Mounted to indicate to the system that the correct tape is loaded and ready for capturing.
A dialog box opens.
13. Click OK to confirm the tape and deck entries.
Your Avid editing application captures each clip from the tape, in start timecode order. If another
source tape is needed, your Avid editing application prompts for the tape. You can stop the batch-
capturing process at any time by clicking the Trash button in the Capture tool. A message box
notifies you when batch capturing finishes. The new master clips appear in the bin, and
associated media files exist on the targeted drive or drives.
Alternate Source Capture
Alternate source capture allows you to choose a different source name (Tape) and timecode (Start) to
use when you perform a batch capture. This is helpful when the clips used in your sequence are from
a submaster source tape that is different than the original master tape. For example, if during
production you record RGB to HDCAM SR and then make color corrected selects to HDCAM for
the offline workflow, when mastering, it is best to go back to the original master tape and color
correct from the HD RGB sources. When you create the original HDCAM tapes, the metadata
displays as:
When you perform a batch capture of the Timeline or source clips, you can select and frame
accurately batch capture from either the HDCAM submaster or the HDCAM SR master.
You can also use an alternate tape name if the original tape name was incorrectly logged. You can use
any custom column in the bin as a source name when you batch capture in addition to Labroll,
Camroll, and Soundroll, or you can correct for timecode offsets and store them in the Auxiliary TC
column and batch capture from that.

When you use an alternate tape source, the tape does not have to display in the list of tapes. You can
create a temporary tape for the capture process and remove it from the list once the batch capture is
complete.
