Click the Source Tape Display button.

The Select Tape dialog box appears.

Because the media file database does not open when you start your Avid
editing system, tape names of all online media files do not appear
automatically.

| |
If the tape name for which you are searching does not appear in the Select
Tape dialog box, click the Scan for Tapes button. Tape and project names
are listed.
|

Provide a tape name in one of the following ways:
|
| |
Select a Tape Name from the list. Tape names and associated
projects are listed in two columns.
|
|
| |
Click New if the tape is not in the list, and type a new tape name in
the text box that appears at the bottom of the Tape Name list.
|
|
| |
Click the Source Tape Display to display the tape names and
associated project names for all bins that have been opened in the
current session.
|
Stop the process at any time by clicking Cancel.
| 7. | |
Click OK. The tape name is displayed in the Capture tool.
|
| 8. | |
Play the tape manually, and click the Record button to stop and start
the capturing of each clip.
|
| |
If you notice that your captured material is consistently one or more
frames off, select "Latency for external timecode mode" in the General tab
in the Capture Settings dialog box to fix the problem. See Capture Settings:
General Tab.
