To use placeholders for missing ﬁles, see “Using ofﬂine ﬁles” on page 87.

To evaluate a clip, examine the columns in the List view of the Project window and see “Analyzing clip

properties and data rate” on page 89.

Using the Capture window

Use the Capture window to capture DV and analog video and audio clips. This window

includes a preview window, which displays video being captured, controls for recording

with and without device control, a Settings panel for viewing and editing your current

capture settings, and a Logging panel for entering batch capture settings. You can log

clips for batch capture only when using device control. In the Capture window, you can

specify independent disk locations for captured video and audio clips, and you can specify

a bin for storing the project’s references to the captured clips. For convenience, some

options available in the Capture window are also available in the Capture window menu.

If you already have experience capturing video, see “Logging and capturing for experi-

enced editors” on page 66.

Note: When performing anything other than capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro, close the

Capture window. The Capture window assumes primary focus when open, so leaving it

open while editing or previewing video disables output to the DV device and may decrease

performance.
