Capturing Sources All Together

Importing Sources All Together (Batch Capture)

The following explains how to determine the directory to capture sources to in advance and import sources all together.

1) Click the [Add to Batch Capture List] list button on the Player.

2) Click [Batch Capture].

Alternative

3) Select the device preset from the list at [Input Settings].

4) Set the reel name, if necessary.

Note

  • When the source has been captured in MPEG TS format, the information of the preset reel name will not be recorded to the captured source file but to the project file. The information of the reel name set at capture will not be reflected even if that source file is opened in another project file after EDIUS is restarted.

5) Play back the source to capture, and set the In and Out points.

6) Click [Add to Batch Capture List] in the [Batch Capture] dialog box.

Alternative

7) Repeat steps 3) to 6) .

8) Turn on the check buttons for the sources to capture from the list in the [Batch Capture] dialog box.

9) Click [Capture] in the [Batch Capture] dialog box.

Note

  • When HDV is batch-captured in “MPEG TS” format, the result of [Status] sometimes ends not as 100% but as “101%” or “102%”. This is normal operation due to the specifications for capturing MPEG by the GOP.

10) Insert a tape in your camera, and select the corresponding reel name from the [Please insert the tape, and select the reel name.] list.

11) Click [OK].
