11. To finish logging the clip, do one of the following:
t Set the remaining IN or OUT point on-the-fly by using the Mark IN
or Mark OUT buttons, or by pressing F4.
t Type a timecode for the clip’s IN point, OUT point, or duration in the
timecode text boxes next to the corresponding icon, and press Enter.
The system automatically calculates the appropriate timecode for the
remaining IN point, OUT point, or duration, and enters the clip into the
bin. The clip name, which is automatically numbered by the system, is
highlighted and ready to be changed.
c
You must enter two of the three timecode marks (IN point, OUT point, or
duration) to complete the log entry.
12. Name the clip by typing a new name before clicking any of the buttons in
the Capture tool.
n
Consider changing the clip name immediately because it is easy to forget the
contents of each clip if you are logging many clips. You can, if necessary,
accept the clip name, proceed with the logging process, and then change the
clip names in the bin at a later time.
13. Repeat these steps until you have logged all your clips.
n
While viewing the footage, you can continuously update your marks on-the-fly
by clicking the Mark IN or the Mark OUT button repeatedly before entering
the second mark.
Pausing a Deck While Logging
If the deck is playing while you log clips, you can direct the Avid editing
application to pause the deck automatically after you select an IN point and an
OUT point. While the deck is paused, you can enter the name and a comment
for the clip you want to log.
To pause the deck while logging:
1. Double-click Capture in the Settings scroll list.
The Capture Settings dialog box opens.
2. Select the “Pause deck while logging” option.
