Using a Memory Mark When Logging
You can add a memory mark to a particular location on a tape, then use the Go to Memory button
to move through the tape to the marked location.
To use a memory mark for a particular location on a tape:
t Click the Mark Memory button in the Capture tool to mark the location.
t Click the Go to Memory button to move through the tape to the marked location.
t Click the Clear Memory button to clear the memory mark.
Memory buttons: (right to left) Mark Memory, Go to Memory, Clear Memory
You can add one mark per tape. The memory mark is not stored on the tape. When you
remove the tape from the deck and insert another tape into the deck, the mark clears.
Logging with Non-Avid-Controlled Decks
You can use the Capture tool to log clips directly into a bin from a source that is not controlled by
your Avid editing application. For example, you can log clips from a deck that is not connected
to the system, or from handwritten or printed log information for a tape that was previously
logged but is not currently available.

For NTSC projects, when you log within the Capture tool, you should leave the deck empty. If a
tape remains in the deck, the system determines drop-frame or non-drop-frame from that tape
whether or not it matches your tape’s timecode format.
To log clips directly into a bin from a non-Avid-controlled deck:
1. If there is a deck connected to the system, eject the tape from the deck.
2. Double-click Deck Preferences in the Settings list of the Project window.
The Deck Preferences dialog box opens.
3. For NTSC projects, click “When no tape in deck log as” menu, and select Non-Drop-Frame
or Drop-Frame.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
5. Open the bin where you want to store the clips.
