Capturing Audio and Video
To capture audio and video:
1 Ensure the Capture Tool has been configured
for capturing. (See “Configuring the Capture
Tool” on page 53.)
2 Ensure that Pro Tools has been properly con-
nected and linked to the video satellite. (See
“Connecting Pro Tools and a Video Satellite” on
page 41.)
3 Use the Mark In and Mark Out controls to se-
lect a specific portion of video you want to cap-
ture from tape, and click Record. (See “Selecting
a Portion of Video to Capture” on page 56.)
After you click Record, Media Composer cues
the VTR. Media Composer and Pro Tools drop
into record mode at the appropriate moment.
This will be helpful if you ever need to re-
capture the same video.
When digitizing DV25 video through the
DV port, nothing will appear in the client
monitor. However, the digitized clip will be
captured correctly.
Mark In and Mark Out controls
If Media Composer displays an error mes-
sage regarding mis-matched frame rates, you
may have mis-matched timecode formats or
play rates. See “Matching Media Composer
and Pro Tools Settings in a Video Satellite
System” on page 42 for more information.
You can capture without first entering an In
point, but this is not advised because of un-
predictable delays between clicking the Re-
cord button and actually capturing video.
