Capturing Footage
DV Scene Extraction
DV Scene Extraction allows you to automatically generate subclips and loca-
tors while capturing material in the DV, DVCAM, and HDV video formats.
Discontinuities in the DV time-of-day (TOD) data indicate each place where
a new take was initiated on a DV camera. Using this feature, you can cap-
ture an entire DV tape as a single master clip and have the system automati-
cally locate all the takes for you, eliminating the need to log manually.
Note the following requirements and qualifications:
