Clip Name Comments Capture button If your events contain clip names in their comments, enable this
option to use those names during capture. If this option is disabled, the event number is used as the captured
shot's name.
Use Hotkey For Add Selection button Use to change the functionality of selecting events. When this option
is disabled, you add to your selection range by clicking the events. When this option is enabled, you must
hold the Ctrl key or the pen button while clicking events to add them to your selection range.
Auto Disable Slip Tape button By default, the Slip Tape option remains enabled after you slip sources.
Enable this option to disable the Slip Tape option automatically after you slip sources.
Clip Name Comments Assembly button If your events contain clip names in their comments, enable this
option to use those names during assembly. If this option is disabled, the EDL title is used as the assembled
clip's name.
Keep System Comments button Use the Keep System Comments option to protect system comments.
When enabled, you can only delete user comments.
(a) Max TW Capture Handles field
Import As Soft Import button Enable to soft-import files with a file-based EDL that are located on a standard
filesystem. If you disable this option, the files are hard-imported.
Import Background Proxies button Enable to allow proxies to be generated in the background.
Include VTR Preroll button Enable to capture the events in one pass and store them as individual clips in
the clip library. By default, if events in an EDL are separated by a shorter duration than the VTR preroll and
more than 10 frames, they are captured in a single pass.
Capture Proxy Only button Use this option in HD projects to auto-capture proxies only when conforming
an EDL. This option does not appear in SD projects.
Max TW Capture Handles field You can set the maximum number of handles to be captured for source
clips that are part of timewarped events. On timewarped events, the capture handles value is equal to the
capture handles value multiplied by the speed of the timewarp. For example, for an EDL event with an
increased speed of 500% (in NTSC), if the capture handles are set to 30 frames, 150 frames are captured as
handles (30 frames multiplied by 5).
Standard handles may not be enough in the case of high-speed timewarps.
Capture Creates One Clip Per Event button Enable to create a clip in the clip library for every event in the
EDL. When disabled, a single clip is created in the library for each group of events captured during the same
pass. You can assemble the montage regardless of which option you chose to store EDL events in the clip
library.
To reduce the size of clip libraries, you should disable this feature. However, if you need to reference back
to individual shots, they may be easier to find if you enable the option and generate a clip for every event.
Auto Save After Each Tape button When this option is enabled, the system performs an AutoSave between
each tape when auto-capturing.
