3 Record enable the audio tracks to which you
want to capture audio.
4 Click the Record Enable button in the Trans-
port.
You are now ready to configure
Media Station|PT for capturing into a new or ex-
isting sequence.
Configuring Media Station|PT for
Capturing into an Existing Sequence
To configure a Media Station|PT video satellite for
capturing into an existing sequence:
1 In Media Station|PT, open the existing se-
quence into which you want to capture new me-
dia.
2 Use the Mark In control to set an In point on
the Timeline at which you want to begin captur-
ing.
You are now ready to configure the Capture
Tool. See “Configuring the Capture Tool” on
page 124.
If you want to capture to a location in a se-
quence that falls in the Timeline after the last
frame of media, you need to artificially extend
the sequence.
To artificially extend the sequence in the Timeline:
1 In Media Station|PT, open the existing se-
quence into which you wish to capture new me-
dia.
2 Add at least one frame of media to the end of
the current Timeline.
3 Place the cursor at the leading edge of that me-
dia.
4 Choose Clip > Add Black and select 2 minutes.
5 Repeat as needed until the Timeline is long
enough.
Configuring Media Station|PT for
Capturing Directly into an Empty
Sequence
When you capture into an empty sequence,
Media Station|PT uses the default start time set
in the General setting of the Settings tab.
To configure a Media Station|PT video satellite for
capturing directly into a new sequence:
1 If there is a sequence open, click above the
Record Monitor to display a pop-up menu, and
select Clear Monitor.
Media Station|PT places captured video at
the In point in the timeline. However, that
may not equal the video's time code position
on the tape, which is determined by the In
point set in the Capture Tool. For example,
if the In point on the Capture Tool is set to
1:00 and the In point in the timeline is set
to 0:30, Media Station|PT starts capturing
when the tape reaches 1:00—but places the
captured video in the timeline beginning at
0:30—causing a 30-second offset.
To keep the captured video in sync with the
source tape, the In point in the timeline
should be the same as the In point in the
Capture Tool.
Once you have created this “filler” se-
quence, you can save it and use it for the
same purpose on other projects.
