Batch Capture
Overburdened by immense amounts of footage to capture from your
DV tape? You can get peace of mind through VideoStudio’s Batch
Capture. This feature captures only the video clips you want with just
one click and saves you a considerable amount of time.
To Batch capture, simply watch the video. At any time, press [F3] to
mark in the task and [F4] to mark out. Press [F3] and [F4] as often as
required.
To use Batch Capture:
1. Switch on your camcorder and set it to
Play (or VTR / VCR) mode. Refer to
your camcorder’s manual for specific
instructions.
2. Open a project.
3. In the Capture Step, click the Batch
Capture Tab in the Options Panel. You
can also click the Capture menu arrow
and select Batch Capture.
Note: Batch capturing can be achieved only when you are using a DV tape and
the IEEE-1394 card for computer connection.
Note: The videotape automatically plays once
you click the Batch Capture Tab. Rewind or
forward your videotape first to cue it.
4. When you get to the part of the video you
want to record, press [F3]. Then press
[F4] to mark out the task.
5. Continue to play the video, and then
repeat step 4 as needed.
6. Click Play Selected Tasks to view the
selected segments on tape. Click Modify
a task to change a marked segment. You
can also double-click a task and enter a
new timecode.
