Capturing video from a batch list



When you finish building the batch list, you are ready to capture the video. Unless you attach a specific capture settings file to one or more entries, Premiere captures the entries in a batch list using the settings for recording, compression, video input, and audio input that were specified when the clips were logged. See Specifying batch-list settings.

To begin capturing video:

In a Batch Capture window, do one of the following:

  • To capture one or more clips directly from the Batch Capture window, first make sure that each clip you want to capture is marked with a diamond () in the check-mark column at the far left of the Batch Capture window; if necessary, click the check-mark column for an entry to turn on the diamond icon, or click the column heading to turn all the entries on or off. Click the Capture button ().
  • To capture a single batch-list entry in the Movie Capture window, select the entry, choose Send In/Out to Movie Capture in the Batch Capture window menu, and click the Capture button ().

  • After the batch capture is complete, you can import the captured files into your project using the File > Import command.

    To cancel a batch capture:

    While a clip is being captured, press the Escape (Esc) key, click the mouse, or press Command+period (Mac OS only).

    Note: If you attempt to cancel a batch capture while the device is seeking or shuttling to the next timecode, the capture will not cancel and Premiere may return an error. Wait until the device is done seeking or shuttling and then cancel the batch capture.
