Pausing the Deck While Logging
If the deck is playing while you log clips, you can direct your Avid editing application to pause
the deck after you set an IN point and an OUT point. You can then 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 139.
3. When you reach the point where you want to start the clip, click the Mark IN button in the
Capture tool or press the F4 key. The Mark IN button changes to the Mark OUT button and
the deck continues to play.
4. When you reach the point where you want to end the clip, click the Mark OUT button in or
press the F4 key again. The Mark OUT button changes to the Log Clip button, and the deck
pauses.
5. Type a clip name and comment in the corresponding text boxes in the Capture tool.
6. Click the Log Clip button or press the F4 key.
Your Avid editing application logs the clip in a bin, and the deck starts playing again.
