Batch Capturing from Logged Clips

242

t If the bin contains some clips that are already captured and you do not want to recapture

those clips, select “Offline media only.” If this option is not selected and some of the

selected clips have media files, your Avid editing application deletes the media files and

recaptures new media files.

t Select “All clips in a group edit” to allow capturing of each clip in a group clip.

t If your selections include a sequence for batch capturing, the dialog box prompts you

for handle length information. Your Avid editing application creates new master clips

based on the length of edited clips in the sequence.

t (Option) Select “Extend handles beyond master clip edges” to allow the handles to

extend before the beginning and after the end of the original master clip.

When you batch capture, deselecting this option prevents capturing across a

discontinuous timecode error.

For example, if the starting timecode for a master clip is 1:00:10:00 and the resulting

master clip after a decompose with handles causes the new master clip to begin at

1:00:09:00, batch capturing fails if there are any timecode discontinuities between

1:00:09:00 and 1:00:10:00.

For more information on handle lengths when recapturing, see “Decomposing Sequences” on

page 247 and “Recapturing a Sequence Without Using Decompose” on page 252.

6. Click OK.

If you have not loaded a tape, your Avid editing application prompts you to load the first

tape.

7. Load the tape into the tape deck and click Mounted.

A dialog box opens.

8. Click OK to confirm the tape and deck entries and begin the capture process.

Your Avid editing application captures each clip from the tape, in start timecode order.

9. If your Avid editing application needs another source tape, it prompts you for the tape. At

this point, you have several options. Do one of the following:

t Load the new tape and click Mounted to continue the capturing process.

t Select Skip this clip to bypass just the first clip from the tape and continue capturing the

remaining clips.

t Select Skip this tape to bypass all the clips from the mounted tape. Your Avid editing

application then prompts you for the next tape.

t Click Abort to end the batch-capturing process.

You can also stop capturing at any time by clicking the Trash button in the Capture tool.
