Capturing and Logging at the Same Time
225
You can log and capture at the same time with either a PAL or NTSC film-to-tape transfer as the
source. However, when capturing an NTSC transfer, you must observe the following basic rules:
• Specify the pulldown frame before capturing. See “Entering Pulldown Information” on
page 151.
• The mark IN must be an A frame, and you cannot capture with a mark OUT only, unless you
have set the correct pulldown phase. See “Setting the Pulldown Phase” on page 149.
Naming Clips and Adding Comments in the Capture Tool
You can type clip names and comments before or during the on-the-fly capture of a clip. This
information is saved in the clip Name and Comments columns in the bin. You can add comments
about such things as color correction or directions for editing.
If you do not type a clip name before or during capturing, your Avid editing application provides
a default clip name. You can edit a clip name and add a comment in the bin.

To carry your comments over to the sequence so that they appear in the Timeline, in cut lists, or
in EDLs, you must add the comments again when creating the sequence by using the Add
Comments command in the Clip Name menu. For more information, see “Adding Comments to
Sequence Clips” on page 605.
