Working with the Capture Tool
This strategy is helpful in two ways:

The bin becomes a source tape database. A printout of the bin can
serve as a useful archiving tool.

Any scenes that were not logged and captured when the project was
initially mounted will be easier to find because of visual associations
with the clips in the bin bearing that tape’s name.
Video Resolution
The project type set when you created your project (or selected in the
Format tab) dictates your available video resolutions when capturing your
media. SD project types yield SD resolutions, HD project types yield HD
resolutions, HDV project types yield HDV resolutions, and so on. (Various
frame rate and raster size adjustments within each parent category may
generate slightly different resolution options.)
Yo u s hou ld pl an y our vi de o r eso lu ti o n s el e ct i on a ro und yo ur end -t o- e nd
workflow. If you have HD tapes but want to capture in SD for the offline
edit for portability reasons—for example, if you want to save all of your
media on a single hard drive—then you could choose an SD resolution for
the offline edit and recapture the edited sequence in an HD resolution for
the online edit.
If, however, you want to edit in HD from the beginning, you will choose an
HD resolution for the offline edit.
Other factors may also influence your choice of video resolution, so be
aware of delivery requirements, working conditions, and system configura-
tions before making a selection.
Video resolution for capture (and all other media creations) can also be
selected in the Media Creation Settings area.
Target Drives for Storing Captured Media
From the Target drive menu, you will select a target drive for your captured
media. Make sure to choose a dedicated media drive, rather than your sys-
tem drive.

SD resolutions to choose
from, all of which reflect
varying quality and size
characteristics. Be sure to
first run usability tests to
identify the optimum reso-
lution for your project.
NOTE If you filter out
your system drive and
launch drive in the Media
Creation Settings area,
you cannot select your
system drive within the
Capture tool.
