Recapturing and Decomposing
223
Some source formats can only be recaptured in their original format. For these formats, the
entry in the Target Format column is only for your information, and you cannot select a
different format.
For more information, see “Expert Decompose” on page 217.
To proceed with the decompose process:
t Click OK.
Recapturing a Sequence Without Using Decompose
When you recapture a sequence without using decompose, your Avid editing application creates
new master clips and captures new media in a single operation.
For more information on recapturing a sequence with and without decompose, see
“Understanding Recapturing” on page 215 and “Understanding Decompose and
Expert Decompose” on page 216.
To recapture a sequence:
1. Select the proper Capture settings and set up the capture tools, as described in “Preparing for
Capture” on page 135.
2. Open or activate the bin that stores the sequence.
3. Select the sequence you want to recapture.
4. Select Bin > Batch Capture.
The Batch Capture dialog box opens.
5. To preserve clips that already have existing media files, select “Offline media only.”
Deselect this option if you plan to recapture the entire sequence.
6. (Option) Select “All clips in a group edit.”
7. Click the Handle Length text box and type the number of additional frames you want to
capture at the heads and tails of the new master clips.
This provides enough overlap for trimming and adding transition effects.
c
If you attempt to trim or add effects with no handles, you will receive an error message
notifying you that there is insufficient media.
8. (Option) Select “Extend handles beyond master clip edges” to allow the handles to extend
before the beginning and after the end of the original master clip.
When you batch capture, deselecting this option prevents capturing across a discontinuous
timecode error.
