Setting Up the Capture Tool
197
To create and target a drive group:
1. Click the Target Drive menu, and select Change Group.
The Drive Group dialog box opens.
2. Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Macintosh) to select multiple drives to include in
the capturing session, or click the All button to select all drives.
3. Click OK.
Your Avid editing application creates the drive group, and it appears in the
Target Drive menu.
When you capture, any clip that exceeds the capacity of a drive (whether that drive is empty
or already contains media files) continues capturing onto another drive in the group.
Selecting a Custom Preroll
The Custom Preroll option and menu in the Capture tool lets you select how many seconds the
tape rolls before the capturing starts. This option overrides the global preroll setting in the Deck
Settings dialog box.
