Logging with a Non-Avid-Controlled Camera or Deck
You can use the Capture tool to log clips directly to a bin from a non-Avid-controlled source. For example, you can log clips from a camera or deck that is not connected to the system or from handwritten or printed log information for a tape that was previously logged but is not currently available.
To log with a non-Avid-controlled camera or deck:
| 1. | |
If there is a camera or deck connected to the system, eject the tape
from the deck.
|
 | |
For NTSC projects, when you are logging within the Capture tool, you
should leave the deck empty. If a tape remains in the deck, the system
determines drop-frame or non-drop-frame from that tape, whether or not it
matches your tape's timecode format. (Drop-frame and non-drop-frame
timecode exists only in NTSC projects.)
|
| 2. | |
Double-click Deck Preferences in the Settings scroll list of the Project
Window to open the Deck Preferences dialog box.
|
| 3. | |
For NTSC projects, click the "When the deck contains no tape Log
As" pop-up menu, and select Non-Drop-Frame or Drop-Frame.
|
| 4. | |
Click OK to close the dialog box.
|
| 5. | |
Open the bin where you want to store the clips.
|
| 6. | |
Select Tools > Capture.
|
The Capture tool opens.
| 7. | |
Click the Capture/Log Mode button until the LOG icon appears.
|
| 8. | |
Click the Source Tape Display button.
|
A dialog box opens.
The Select Tape dialog box opens.
| 10. | |
Double-click the name of the tape in the dialog box, or click New and
enter the name of the tape. Click OK.
|
| 11. | |
Select the tracks that you want to log, using the Channel Selection
buttons.
|
| 12. | |
Type the start and end timecodes in the Mark IN and Mark OUT text
boxes.
|
| 13. | |
Click the Log Clip button.
|
The clip is logged to the bin.
