DV Scene Extraction
While capturing, DV Scene Extraction allows you to automatically generate subclips and locators based on time-of-day (TOD) information contained in the DV video format.
Discontinuities in the DV TOD metadata indicate each place in a master clip or subclip where a new take was initiated on a DV camera. Using this feature, you can capture an entire DV tape as a single master clip and have the system automatically locate all the takes for you, eliminating the need to manually log.
You can perform a DV Scene Extraction in two ways:
  Set up the DV Scene Extraction option before capturing. When capturing is performed, subclips and locator marks appear in the bin.
  Perform DV Scene Extraction after capturing. Select those clips in the bin for which you want to generate subclips and locator marks.
Consider the following:
  You can perform DV Scene Extraction on any existing clip or subclip in a bin that has TOD information breaks.
  DVCPro format does not provide TOD metadata; you cannot use DV Scene Extraction with DVCPro format.
  DV Scene Extraction will not work on audio-only clips.
