Capture panel with Logging active
To log clips interactively
1 Make sure that your device is connected and in VTR or VCR (not Camera) mode, and then choose File > Capture.
2 In the Logging pane, enter the settings you want to use as the defaults for Setup and Clip Data.
3 Play the tape. Click Set In or Set Out at any time, even as the tape plays. Repeat as necessary.
4 When you are satisfied with the In and Out points, click Log Clip, verify the clip data, and click OK.
You can make slight timecode adjustments by using the plus sign (+) or minus sign (–). For example, to add five
frames to the end of the Out point, select the entire Out point timecode, type +5, and press Enter.
Tips for logging clips interactively
•
Set options on the Logging pane of the Capture panel. Adobe Premiere Pro uses the current data in the Setup and
Clip Data sections as defaults for subsequent logged clips. If you want to log a series of clips into the same bin with
similar logging data, save work by specifying clip data before you start logging the series. When you click the Log
Clip button, a dialog box appears so that you can accept or change the clip data.
• In the Clip Data section, specify a tape name. Adobe Premiere Pro asks for this name every time you begin batch
capturing
• The Clip Name in the Clip Data section progresses in numerical increments automatically. For example, if you
want to number a series of clips with clip names starting with Car Chase, enter Car Chase 01, making sure that
the clip name ends with the number. Subsequent logged clips default to the next number, such as Car Chase 02.
• You can change Capture panel settings at any time. For example, if you see the action changing as the tape plays
back, you can get ready to capture the new upcoming action by selecting a different bin to log subsequent clips
into or by typing a different name for Description or Scene. You don’t have to stop the tape as you change settings.
• You can operate the device and log clips using the keyboard. See the tool tips for Capture panel controls, or choose
Edit > Keyboard Customization to view or change the shortcuts.
