5 Below the Record button, click the record en-
able buttons for the video and timecode inputs.
(V is for video and TC is the timecode channel).
6 To capture the clip directly into the Timeline
without affecting the position of any existing
material (analogous to Slip edit in Pro Tools),
click
Overwrite. This mode is selected by default
when Satellite Mode is enabled in Media Com-
poser.
7 Choose the video input source from the Video
Input pop-up menu.
8 From the Bin pop-up menu, select the bin
where you wish the captured clips to appear.
9 From the Res pop-up menu, choose the resolu-
tion of video you wish to capture.
10 Click the Toggle Storage button so that one
volume is showing, and select the volume where
the video media will be stored. The available re-
cording time for each volume displays next to it.
11 If the VTR is not correctly identified in the
Source pop-up menu, choose
Auto-Configure
from the source pop-up menu, then click Yes to
auto-configure the VTR with the Capture Tool
and display the name of the VTR.
12 Ensure that Delay Audio is set to 0 Frames.
13 Insert the tape into the VTR.
Media Composer will present a list of tapes al-
ready associated with this project and ask you
which tape you have inserted.
The TC (timecode) button should always be
enabled, even though no timecode is being
recorded.
Do not record enable the audio inputs un-
less you want to use Media Composer in-
stead of Pro Tools to capture audio.

This setting does not affect where the cap-
tured files are stored. All captured media
files are stored in the OMFI Media Files
folder (for OMF media) or Avid MediaFiles
folder (for MXF media) on the volumes se-
lected in the storage pop-up menus. A bin in
Media Composer is analogous to the Audio
or MIDI clip lists in Pro Tools, except that a
project in Media Composer may have an un-
limited number of bins, and clips may be or-
ganized between the bins as best suits the
user.
