Capturing Tape-Based Media
4. Mark an IN point by doing one of the following:
 Click the Mark IN button.
 From the deck controls, mark an IN point.
The timecode for the IN point is displayed. Additionally, the Mark IN
button turns into a Mark OUT and Log button , ready for you to
mark your OUT point.
5. Shuttle or play to the place where you want to mark the OUT point of
the clip. Then, do one of the following:
 Click the Mark OUT and Log button.
 From the deck controls, mark an OUT.
If you clicked the Mark OUT and Log button, the clip is automatically
logged to the bin, and you can name it accordingly.
If you clicked the Mark OUT button in the deck controls, the clip is
marked but not logged. The Mark IN point, Mark OUT point, and dura-
tion are populated in the deck controls.
Additionally, the Mark OUT and Log button changes to a Log button
, ready for you to log the clip to the bin.
6. If you marked your IN and OUT points via the deck controls, click the
Log button, or press F4.
The clip is logged into the bin. Name the clip accordingly.
7. Repeat these steps until you have logged all your clips, and then stop
the tape.
Batch Capturing Logged Clips
After you have logged a group of clips, you can capture them automatically
using Media Composer’s batch capture.
To prepare for a batch capture:
1. In the Settings list, double-click Capture to open the capture settings.
2. (Optional) Click the General tab, and select “Capture across
timecode breaks.”
3. (Optional) Click the Batch tab, and select “Log errors to the console
and continue capturing.” This selection is useful to keep the capture
process moving along without aborting the session—especially because
batch captures are often performed when you are not present at
your computer.
NOTE Yo u c a n a l so
name the clip in the
Capture tool prior to log-
ging the clip to the bin.
NOTE Capturing across
timecode breaks is useful
when you are capturing
DV footage because dur-
ing shooting, DV cameras
often produce inadver-
tent breaks in continu-
ous timecode within the
footage.
Breaks in timecode
would otherwise result
in disrupted captures,
so selecting this option
makes capturing rules
more lenient and is often
desirable during batch
captures and on-the-fly
captures.
