| 1. | Load a tape into your deck. |
 | If a tape is already in the camera or deck, click the Source Tape Display in the Capture tool. |
| 2. | In an NTSC project, play the tape briefly so that the system can detect the timecode format of the tape (drop-frame or non-drop-frame). Otherwise, the system maintains the timecode format set in the Deck Preferences dialog box, regardless of the format on the tape, and you might receive a message indicating a wrong tape. |
| Drop-frame timecode appears in the timecode indicator with semicolons between hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. Non-drop-frame timecode appears with colons. (Drop-frame and non-drop-frame timecode exist only in NTSC projects.) For more information about drop-frame and non-drop- frame timecode, see Understanding Drop-Frame and Non-Drop-Frame Timecode. |
| 3. | Provide the system with a tape name in one of the following ways: |
| Select the name of the tape from the list displayed in the Select Tape dialog box, and click OK. |
|
| Expand the list by selecting the "Show other projects" option or by clicking the Scan for tapes button. |
|
| Click New if the tape is not in the list. Type the new name in the dialog box, click OK, and then click OK again. |
