Creating Subclips While Capturing

- If “Log errors to the console and continue capturing” is selected, when you batch
capture and your Avid editing application encounters an error, it aborts the clip, enters
error comments into the Console, and continues capturing the next clip.
- If “Log errors to the console and continue capturing” is not selected, a message appears
and your Avid editing application pauses if an error occurs while capturing. If this
happens, use the last procedure below.
4. Click OK.
To open the Console window:
t Select Tools > Console.
To respond when your Avid editing application pauses during capture and is not logging
to the Console:
1. Click Try Again to retry the operation.
The clip might capture successfully.
If the clip does not capture the second time you try, the error message appears again.
2. Click Next Clip to bypass the clip that caused the error and continue batch capturing any
remaining clips, or click Abort to cancel the entire batch capturing process.
3. Note all errors, messages, and steps you have taken. Try to troubleshoot the problem on your
own, or contact Avid Customer Support.
Creating Subclips While Capturing
You can create subclips on-the-fly while capturing, or you can create timed subclips. The
maximum number of subclips you can generate while capturing a clip is 100.
You instruct your Avid editing application to create a timed subclip automatically when you
press a function key that you have mapped to the Timed Subclip button. Your Avid editing
application creates IN and OUT points at predetermined intervals before and after the point you
identify in the source media by pressing the button. For information on mapping capture
functions to function keys, see “Using Capture Function Keys” on page 255.
For information about creating subclips after capturing, see “Creating Subclips” on page 520.
You should be aware of the following while creating subclips while capturing:
• When you create subclips in 24p or 25p projects, they are always “hard” subclips. You
cannot trim past the edges of the subclip when adjusting transitions and edits. Hard subclips
prevent film-tracking information errors for editing and cut lists.
• For NTSC film-to-tape transfers, you must log the correct pulldown phase before you create
subclips. For more information, see “Setting the Pulldown Phase” on page 149.
