Selecting a Portion of Video to Capture
The Mark In and Mark Out controls in the Cap-
ture Tool let you select a portion of video to cap-
ture.
To select a portion of video to capture:
1 In the Capture Tool, use one of the following
methods to mark the position where you want
the capture to begin:
• Press the Spacebar (or click Play) to start
playback on the VTR, and click Mark In at
the desired position.
• Use the Transport controls to queue the
tape to the position at which you wish to
start capturing, and click Mark In.
• Type a time code value in the Mark In field.
2 Use one of the following methods to mark the
position where you want the capture to end:
• If the VTR is playing back, click Mark Out
at the desired position.
• Use the Transport controls to queue the
tape to the position at which you wish to
end capturing, and click Mark Out.
• Type a time code value in the Mark Out
field.
3 The exact length of the clip to be captured ap-
pears in the Duration display.
4 You can also do the following:
• To automatically queue the tape to the
Mark In point, click Go to In.
• To automatically queue the tape to the
Mark Out point, click Go to Out.
• To automatically mark a specific frame (not
to be reflected in the capture), click Mark
Memory.
• To clear any of the Mark In, Mark Out, or
Mark Memory points, click Clear Display
next to the appropriate button.
5 You are now ready to begin capturing, as de-
scribed in “Capturing Audio and Video” on
page 48. When you begin capturing, the VTR
queues to the In point and begins capturing
video, then stops automatically when it reaches
the Out point.
Working with Captured Video
Once you have captured audio and video clips
into a bin, you can:
• Create a sequence of clips to send to
Pro Tools.
• Add captured clips to an existing sequence,
then send that sequence to Pro Tools.
• Export the clips as media files for importing
into Pro Tools.
For more information, see “Assembling Clips in
a Sequence” on page 55 or “Exporting Audio
and Video from Media Station|PT” on page 58.
