4 Click the Tape button near the bottom of the Logging tab in the Capture window.

To mark a clip to be captured using device control:

1 Choose File > Capture to open the Capture window.

2 Make sure that your device is online, as indicated above the preview in the Capture

window. If the message “Capture Device Ofﬂine” appears there, see

“Setting up device

control equipment” on page 68.

3 Use the controls in the Capture window to move to the ﬁrst frame in the clip you want

to capture, and click the Set In button.

4 Use the controls in the Capture window to move to the last frame in the clip, and click

the Set Out button.

To move or play in relation to the In and Out points:

Do either of the following:

• To move the tape to the In point, click the Go To In Point button .

• To move the tape to the Out point, click the GoTo Out Point button .

You can also set In and Out points by entering timecode values in the Capture

window.

To capture a clip using device control:

1 In the Capture panel of the Logging tab in the Capture window, set the following

options as desired:

• Scene Detect creates separate clips at any scene breaks detected between the In and

Out points (see

“Using automatic scene detection” on page 75).

• Handles captures the speciﬁed number of frames before the In point and after the Out

point to provide ﬂexibility for editing and transitions.

2 Do one of the following:

• To record a clip from the video as it plays in the Capture window, press the Record

button

. This doesn’t require setting In and Out points.

• To capture from the In point to the Out point, click Capture In/Out. Adobe Premiere Pro

automatically moves the tape to the Preroll speciﬁed before the In point and captures

the clip. If you speciﬁed handles, those frames are included during the capture.

The captured ﬁle appears at the disk location you chose and is listed in the project in the

bin you speciﬁed (if any) with the name you gave it.

Note: To capture more than one set of In and Out points, see “Batch-capturing video” on

page 72.

Capturing clips without using device control

If you do not have a device that can be controlled by Adobe Premiere Pro, you can capture

video manually. You can manually operate both the playback device controls and the

Capture window controls in Adobe Premiere Pro.

To capture a clip with a noncontrollable device:

1 Make sure that the deck or camcorder is properly connected to your computer.
