Recapturing and Decomposing

3. To preserve clips that already have existing media files, select “Offline media only.”
Do not select this option if you plan to decompose and recapture any material in the
sequence or sequences that has available media.
4. Select other options for the types of clips to decompose: captured only, imported only,
captured and imported, or all clips in a group edit.
5. Click the Handle Length text box and type the number of additional frames you want to
capture at the heads and tails of the new master clips.
This provides enough overlap for trimming and adding transition effects.
c
If you attempt to trim or add effects with no handles, you receive an error message
notifying you that there is insufficient media.
6. (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 will fail if there are any timecode discontinuities between 1:00:09:00 and
1:00:10:00.
