Batch Capturing from Logged Clips
239
• Frame Chase capture is only possible if media files are captured to shared storage in the
workgroup. If you select a local storage volume in the Capture tool, you override the
“During capture, clip is updated in Interplay” setting in the Capture Settings dialog box and
your Avid editing application performs a conventional capture.
• Frame Chase capture is not available for JFIF or HDV video resolutions. If you select a JFIF
or HDV resolution in the Capture tool, you override the “During capture, clip is updated in
Interplay” setting in the Capture Settings dialog box and your Avid editing application
performs a conventional capture.
• The capture process itself is the same regardless of whether you are performing a
conventional or a Frame Chase capture. You can rename clips, add comments or markers,
and create subclips in the normal way during Frame Chase capture. This information
becomes available to all applications in the workgroup following the next update to Interplay
after the information is entered.
• If you abort a Frame Chase capture by clicking the Trash button in the Capture tool and then
clicking Discard, your Avid editing application deletes the media files and the local clip, and
indicates the aborted status by prepending the word “Aborted” to the clip name for the
checked-in clip in Interplay.

If you abort an in-progress clip, you delete the clip’s media even if it is being used in another
sequence or for playback. Always verify that an in-progress clip is not being used anywhere in
the workgroup before aborting the clip.
Batch Capturing from Logged Clips
After you import a log or manually log a group of clips into a bin, you can automate the capture
process by using your Avid editing application’s batch-capturing capabilities. When you batch
capture, you open a bin, select the clips you want to capture, and select Clip > Batch Capture.
Your Avid editing application automatically finds the start and end timecode for each clip and
captures it. Source tapes from which you batch capture must have timecode that matches the
timecode for the selected clips.
You can also use the batch-capturing process to recapture clips you have already captured. The
recapturing process is described in “Recapturing and Decomposing” on page 243.
You cannot recapture a mixed-rate sequence without using decompose because you cannot batch
capture material in formats other than the project format. A message box appears if you attempt
to recapture such material. Instead, you can decompose the sequence, then recapture the
resulting clips by opening the bin in projects that match each of the decomposed formats.
