To capture by specifying an IN point and an OUT point:
1. Make sure you have selected the proper Capture settings as described in
“Selecting Settings” on page 69 and have set up the Capture, Audio, and
Video Input tools as described in Chapter 3.
2. Set either an IN point or OUT point for the clip you want to capture, using
one of the following methods:
t Use the deck controls in the Capture tool or the Deck Controller
window. Cue your source tape to where you want to start or end the
clip, and click the Mark IN or the Mark OUT button.
t If the material starts at a known IN point or ends at a known OUT
point, you can type the timecode in the display area next to the mark.
Press Enter to enter the mark.
3. To double-check the accuracy of the IN or OUT point, click the Go to IN
button. The system cues the tape and pauses the deck at the mark. You can
play the tape and reset the mark, if necessary.
4. To finish logging the clip, use either of the following methods:
t Set the corresponding IN or OUT point.
t Type a timecode for the clip’s duration in the display area next to the
Duration mark (below the OUT point) in the format HH:MM:SS:FF.
The system automatically calculates the appropriate timecode for the
corresponding IN point, OUT point, or duration.
5. Click the Record button in the Capture tool.
The Capture tool automatically rewinds the tape to the preroll point before
the IN point of the clip, and the tape begins to play. The box to the right of
the Record button flashes bright red, and the message bar displays the
message that the system is capturing.
