Setting Up the Capture Tool
195
In an Avid Interplay environment, the Capture tool includes an option to capture to a local bin or
a remote folder.
To select a target bin:
1. (Option — systems in an Avid Interplay environment only) Do one of the following:
t If you are capturing to a local bin, select Local Bins.
t If you are capturing to a remote project folder in an Avid Interplay environment, select
Interplay Folders.
For more information about capturing to an Interplay project folder, see “Capturing
Media to Interplay Folders” on page 1193.
2. In the Capture tool, click the Bin menu and make a selection.
Only open bins (and open Interplay folders if you are in an Interplay environment) appear in
the Bin menu. For information on opening a bin, see “Opening and Closing Bins” on
page 74.
Interplay folders are available only in Avid workgroups configurations. If the Interplay
folder you want to use is not open, click the folder name in the Interplay Window.
Selecting the Target Drives
You select one or more target drives as the destination for audio and video media files that you
create when you capture.
By default, the Capture tool targets a single media drive volume for capturing the audio and
video for each clip. You can also:
• Target separate physical drives for audio and video tracks.
You might want to target separate drives for media management, such as sending audio files
to a Pro Tools
®
system for audio sweetening. Capturing audio and video to separate drives is
not necessary for performance.
• Target a drive group (a group of media drives).
This is especially useful when you are capturing long clips to multiple media files. For more
information, see “Capturing to Multiple Media Files” on page 174.
After you create a drive group, it appears in the Target Drive menu for the project.
