Recapturing the Sequence
When you recapture the sequence, the capturing process creates media files for each clip in the sequence.
To recapture a sequence:
1. | |
Open or activate the bin containing the sequence or clips.
|
2. | |
Select the sequences or the clips you want to recapture:
|
| |
Select Edit > Select All to select all the clips in the bin.
|
| |
Ctrl+click (Windows) or Shift+click (Macintosh) to select specific
clips.
|
The Batch Capture dialog box appears.
4. | |
To preserve clips that already have existing media, select "Capture
only those items for which media is currently available."
|
5. | |
Click the Handle Length text box and type the number of additional
frames you want to capture at the head frames and tail frames of the
new master clips.

The Handle Length text box appears only if a sequence is selected for
batch capturing.

|
Make sure that frames you include in extended handle lengths do not
include timecode breaks or you might compromise accuracy.
|
If you have not loaded a tape, the system prompts you to insert the first
tape.
7. | |
Insert the tape into the video deck, and click Mounted.
|
The capturing process begins. The system captures each clip from the
tape, in start timecode order.
If another source tape is needed, the system prompts for the tape. At
this point, you have several options:
| |
Insert the new tape, and click Mounted to continue the capturing
process.
|
| |
Click "Skip Clip" to bypass just the first clip from the tape and
continue capturing the remaining clips.
|
| |
Click "Skip Tape" to bypass all the clips from the mounted tape.
The system then prompts you for the next tape.
|
| |
Click Abort to end the batch capture process. You can also stop
capturing at any time by clicking the Trash button in the Capture
tool.
