About the Log and Capture Window
The Log and Capture window allows you to view your footage, set In and Out points,
enter log notes, select which tracks to capture, create clips, and capture media files.
There are several areas in the Log and Capture window.
 Preview area: On the left is the area where you view video while logging clips. This
area contains transport controls, marking controls, and timecode fields. If device
control is not enabled, the transport controls do not appear.
 Tabs: On the right are the Logging, Clip Settings, and Capture Settings tabs.
 Log and capture buttons: You click one of these buttons when you are ready to log a
clip or capture media.
The resize control in the lower-right corner allows you to adjust the size of the Log and
Capture window. This option is only available when you select an HDV Easy Setup.
