Logging Directly into a Bin
103
t If you want to log using timecode: Type a timecode for the clip’s IN point, OUT
point, or duration in the timecode text boxes next to the corresponding icon.Then
enter the mark by pressing the Go to IN button or the Go to OUT button, which
scans the tape forward to the mark, or by pressing Enter (Windows) or Return
(Macintosh). To log the clip into the bin, click the Log Clip button in the upper left
of the Capture tool.
The clip name, which is automatically named and numbered by the system, is
highlighted in the bin and ready to be renamed.
11. (Option) Rename the clip by typing a new name in the highlighted area.
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
and proceed with the logging process and change the clip names in the bin at a later
time.
12. Repeat these steps until you have logged all your clips.
While viewing the footage, you can continuously update your marks on-the-fly by
clicking the Mark IN button or the Mark OUT button repeatedly before entering the
second mark.
Pausing the Deck While Logging
If the deck is playing while you log clips, you can direct your Avid editing application to
automatically pause the deck after you set an IN point and an OUT point. While the deck is
paused, you can enter the name and comment for the clip you want to log.
To pause the deck while logging:
1. In the General tab of the Capture Settings dialog box, select the “Pause deck while
logging” option.
2. Set up your deck and the Capture tool as described in “Logging with Avid-Controlled
Decks” on page 99.
3. When you reach the point where you want to start the clip, click the Mark IN button in
the upper left of the Capture tool or press the F4 key. The Mark IN button changes to the
Mark OUT button and the deck continues to play.
