Item Description
The Comments field can be used to add notes about a file in the
Project Media window. Double-click the field to enter text. This
information is saved with the project and is not saved with the media
file itself.
Depending on your current time ruler format, you may see
inconsistencies in the timecode values for clips that you
captured. Video Capture uses SMPTE drop time (29.97 fps). If
you switch the time format to SMPTE drop time in the Vegas
Pro window, the same timecode information will be displayed in
the Video Capture and Vegas Pro windows.
Thumbnail Displays the first frame of a video file.
Media Tags Shows or hides the Media Tags panel. For more information, see
"Tagging media files" on page 84.
Recapturing video
If you've captured video files from a DV device using Video Capture, you can recapture your clips from the
Vegas Pro window if the media files are deleted.
If a media file cannot be found, any events that refer to the file will display Media Offline, and the clip will
be displayed with a generic icon in the Project Media window (if you're using the Thumbnail view).
Select the clips that you want to recapture. Right-click a clip and choose Recapture from the shortcut
menu. Video Capture starts in batch capture mode to recapture the clips.
Depending on your current time ruler format, you may see inconsistencies in the timecode values for
clips that you captured. Video Capture uses SMPTE drop time (29.97 fps). If you switch the time to
SMPTE drop time in the Vegas Pro window, the same timecode information will be displayed in the
Video Capture and Vegas Pro windows.
