Chapter 1 Working With HDV 23
Log and Capture Buttons
As you log and capture, use the following log and capture buttons.
 Log Clip: Logs a single clip with the current logging information and clip settings.
 Capture Clip: Logs and captures a single clip with the current logging information,
clip settings, and capture settings.
 Capture Now: Captures the current video and audio input to a media file on disk until
you press the Escape key. No In or Out points are necessary. You can use this to
capture an entire tape in a single pass. When scene breaks are detected, new media
files and corresponding clips are created automatically.
 Capture Batch: Captures the selected clips in the Browser, or the clips in the currently
assigned logging bin.
Capturing Footage With Start/Stop Indicators
When you capture HDV footage, you can control how media files are created when
start/stop indicators and timecode breaks are detected. This behavior is slightly
different from the way DV footage is handled:
 When you capture DV: Start/Stop indicators can be detected after capture if you
select the clip and choose Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect.
 When you capture HDV: You can control whether start/stop indicators create
individual media files by selecting or deselecting the “Create new clip on Start/Stop”
checkbox in the Clip Settings tab of the Log and Capture window.
In the General tab of the User Preferences window, the option you choose from the
“On timecode break” pop-up menu determines how timecode breaks affect capture,
but the Warn After Capture option is disregarded to avoid capturing media files that
contain breaks in the middle of an MPEG-2 GOP.
